I am happy to announce that the latest release of the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse includes a couple new enhancements for developing AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) applications. In this release, we added a new blueprint: rekognition. In part 1 of this blog post, we describe and show with an animation what this blueprint does, and how to use […]

I am pleased to announce that the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse now supports AWS CodeCommit and AWS CodeStar. This means you can create, view, clone, and delete your AWS CodeCommit repositories in the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. You can also import existing projects under your AWS CodeStar account directly into the Eclipse IDE. Git Credentials Configuration We recommend that […]

From the blog post VPC Configuration for an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment, you learned how to deploy your web application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk by using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse. In this blog, I’m happy to announce that you can now configure Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) subnets and Amazon EC2 subnets separately. The following screenshots show the experience […]

A couple of weeks ago you might have noticed that the 1.11.84 version of the AWS SDK for Java included several deprecations – the most notable being the deprecation of the client constructors.

I’m glad to announce that you can now leverage the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to create Maven projects for AWS, Lambda, and serverless applications now. If you’re new to using the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse to create a Lambda application, you can see the Lambda plugin for more information. If you’re not familiar with serverless applications, see the Serverless Application Model […]

The AWS SDK for Java depends on a handful of third-party libraries, most notably Jackson for JSON and Apache Commons Http Client for over the wire. For most customers, resolving these as part of their standard Maven dependency resolution is perfectly fine; Maven automatically pulls the required versions in or uses existing versions if they’re […]

AWS Step Functions, a new service that launched at re:Invent 2016, makes it easier to build complex, distributed applications in the cloud. Using this service, you can create state machines that can connect microservices and activities into a visual workflow. State machines support branching, parallel execution, retry/error handling, synchronization (via Wait states), and task execution […]

I’m glad to announce that the AWS Lambda plugin in the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse now supports serverless application development for Java. The serverless application (also called a Lambda-based application) is composed of functions triggered by events. In this blog, I provide two examples to show you how to leverage the Eclipse IDE to create and deploy a serverless […]

We are excited to announce support for generating a Java SDK for services fronted by Amazon API Gateway. The generated Java SDKs are compatible with Java 8 and later.
