As explained in earlier chapters, Bluemix is a Cloud Foundry-based platform as a service offering, which means that its application infrastructure and automation is enabled by the Cloud Foundry project.
In earlier chapters, we have seen how to work with Cloud Foundry-based applications on Bluemix, we have also seen how we can work with cf cli or Bluemix UI to create Cloud Foundry-based apps and deploy them on Bluemix. In this chapter, we will look at yet another way to work with Cloud Foundry-based applications.
In this section, we will learn to use eclipse IDE for the development of apps and see how the Bluemix plugin for eclipse facilitates for a seamless and easy integration with your public Bluemix account.
The minimum version of eclipse required for the plugin is eclipse Luna (4.4.1) and above.
