Hi everyone, welcome to the August update of Java on Azure Tooling. In this update, we will introduce new application-centric view support to help developers manage and connect resources in one Project view and deployment status improvement for Azure App Service. We hope you like this feature and enjoy smooth experience with our Azure toolkit. Please download and install the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ. Let’s get started.
August Release and Feature Summary
New Application-centric View Support
In April’s blog, we introduced our application-centric experience in the roadmap. For developers who use Azure Explorer, we understand that the current workflow of connecting resources to a project can be time-consuming because they need to switch between Project View and the Azure Explorer frequently. We also find that developers feel complicated since they need to configure these connection strings manually.
Based on these reasons, we have been making investments to enable this application-centric experience in the toolkit, which can help developers to manage and connect resources in one view and deploy resources to the cloud easily. In addition, we also support the Service Connector to help you build resources connections across all kinds of Azure computed services. You can visit this documentation for more details.
