New name: Atlassian Eclipse Connector
We are changing the name of the Atlassian IDE Plugin for Eclipse to the 'Atlassian Eclipse Connector'. The new name does not imply any changes to your IDE plugin/connector, except for the improvements announced in our regular releases. We want a snappy name that better expresses the functionality of the connector. |
In the Eclipse 'Preferences' window, you can define the Bamboo server that the Atlassian Eclipse Connector connects to and enter the names of the builds you are interested in.
On this page:
Accessing the Connector Preferences Window
- In Eclipse, click the 'Window' menu and select 'Preferences'.
- Select 'Atlassian Plugin' from the list.
- The 'Preferences' window will open, as shown in the screenshot below.
Configuring your Bamboo Server Connections
Screenshot: Configuring your Bamboo server

To configure your server:
- Enter the server name, server URL, your username and your password.
- Click the 'Test Connection' button to verify the information you have entered. The connector will attempt to connect to the Bamboo server.
- Click the 'Refresh' button to retrieve the latest list of build plans from the Bamboo server, based on the server information entered on the screen.
- Now you can either click 'Use favourites' to select your favourite plans as defined on the Bamboo server, or you can select the plans that you want the connector to watch.
Yellow stars indicate your favourite plans as defined on the Bamboo server.
- Click 'Apply' or 'OK' to save the changes.
You can also view a list of Bamboo servers in the 'Bamboo Servers' view, as described in the User Guide.
Configuring Bamboo Polling Time and Popup Options
You can configure the polling interval that the connector will use to monitor Bamboo build plans.
You can also configure if and when the connector will show a popup window.
Screenshot: Configuring polling time
To configure the polling time and popup behaviour:
- Select the 'Bamboo' option under 'Atlassian Plugin'. The Bamboo Preferences window will open, as shown in the screenshot above.
- 'Show popup' — Select a radio button to determine when Bamboo will show a popup window.
- 'Polling Time' — Enter a time interval in minutes. For example, if you enter '30', the connector will connect to your Bamboo server every half hour to refresh its data.
