kubeclipse: Kubernetes Eclipse Plugin

Over the past 10 years my team has made various contributions to projects ranging from hbase, kubernetes, rudder to ansible and spinnaker.The pattern of problem solving and collaboration exhibited by the individuals who have made these contributions is certainly more aligned with the future trends of software development.

Finally the day has arrived where I can walk the talk and make my first contributions to open source.The development over the past year have gone as predicted, kubernetes has taken off as a default cluster orchestration platform, all the three major cloud providers (Microsoft,AWS & Google) have been providing the necessary tooling support for it.

Given the popularity of the kubernetes.What if the developers :

• Installs plugin in their IDE.
• Choose the KubeConfig of the clusters.
• Able to get details of the clusters right from the IDE.

Note : It was surprising to find that this doesn't exist.

The instructions to the plugin and how to install it can be found here

            https://github.com/vibhupratap/kubeclipse

?Once the plugin is installed you can point to the kubeconfig file of the clusters :

You now have access to various perspectives and views to look at :

Once you click on the view you get relevant k8 objects in a tabular view :

Double clicking on any of the object will give the details of the object :

While this is just the beginning many other features need to be added.

Would love get some contributions in helping build a robust debugging environment for kubernetes within a developer IDE.

Note: Many thanks to my employer Veritas LLC for facilitating this contributions.
