Mac Noland has a nice blog on TFS.  His  slides on how his team is using TFS in a mixed [.NET + Java] environment is a good read. 

"Thomson's Online Services is responsible for the backend storage and retrieval of online assets.  The Online Services - Quality department has implemented Team Foundation Server (TFS) for the group, which primarily develops in Java on Windows, Linux, Linux64, Unix and Mac.  With the help of Teamprise, Online Services is now able to interact with their configuration management solution (i.e. TFS) from non-Windows environments.

Online Services has learned some valuable "cross platform" lessons while implementing TFS.  These lessons may benefit others as they start to implement TFS for non-Microsoft development groups.  A sampling of their experience is below.

  • Yes, you can use TFS to store non-Microsoft software assets
  • Replace multiple bug, change, source management tools with TFS"
