Integrating AWS tools in Eclipse or STS

Here are the following steps for integrating AWS tools into Eclipse or STS.

STEP1-  open your eclipse ide and goto the marketplace in eclipse
              goto   help->eclipse marketplace & search aws tools and finally install it.
              This will take some minutes.

STEP2-  After installation is complete aws explorer will be shown in your eclipse and for the very first time it                will ask your SECRET ACCESS KEY & ACCESS KEY ID.

STEP3-  Then goto aws.amazon.com & sign in your aws account.Goto IAM services and make a new user,set permissions to this user and finally generate SECRET  ACCESS KEY & ACCESS KEY ID.The SECRET Key will be generated only once, so keep it in a safe place for future use.Finally make entry into Eclipse for these keys.

STEP4- Note that after configure your aws account in Eclipse,aws tools will save the credentials into your System @  C:\Users\Administrator\.aws\credentials and remeber that credentials location is fixed. Do not change this location.

STEP5- Finally your Eclipse is ready with AWS tools. AWS tools provide a lot of options in your Eclipse.Explore your IDE for more options.

Note-Please give user permissions in your AWS  IAM  user account,without permissions you will not be able to connect your Eclipse to AWS account.


Now start creating your web project and start deploying those projects directly from your IDE i.e Eclipse to AWS clouds.

How to deploy your web project from Eclipse will be in Next post.
