| <h1>New and Noteworthy for Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry, 1.0 (Neon)</h1> | |
| This documents highlight the new changes on Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry (CFT) in this release. | |
| <h2>General</h2> | |
| This is the first release of the Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry project after moving from the Cloud Foundry Foundation. This release involves all the necessary work required for moving to Eclipse. | |
| <h2>Improvements</h2> | |
| A couple of general and usability improvements have been introduced in this release: | |
| <ul> | |
| <li> | |
| <b>Host name conflict detection has been added to the deployment | |
| dialog to avoid host name conflict error when deploying applications</b> | |
| <p>When the deployment wizard is launched during a publish operation, | |
| the initial host name is automatically validated. If there is a | |
| conflict, the wizard will suggest a new application name and matching | |
| host name, by appending an integer to the name, until an available | |
| host name is found.</p> | |
| <p>On the Launch deployment page, where it shows the host | |
| name and deployed URL, a new <i>Validate</i> button is added. Click the <i>Validate</i> | |
| button to initiate host name taken validation.</p> | |

| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <li> | |
| <b>Debug support using SSH on certain Cloud Foundry</b> | |
| <p>Debugging through SSH is now enabled for certain Cloud Foundry that are based on Diego and support SSH, for example Pivotal Web Services.</p> | |
| <p> | |
| <img width=549 height=231 src="images/debug1.png"> | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Applications can be debugged on these servers by simply pressing the <i>Debug</i> button. The Eclipse console will indicate when the SSH session is established, and the Eclipse debugger is automatically connected to the application in Cloud Foundry.</p> | |
| <p> | |

| </li> | |
| <li> | |
| <b>Improved application running and started state detection</b> | |
| <p>Application running and started state detection now more accurately updates Servers view and the console when it detects that the application is started and running.</p> | |
