You can use Developer Studio to connect to a WSO2 App Factory instance and work with applications that are in the Development stage, including checking out an application, modifying its artifacts, deploying and committing the application, and viewing its build logs. To access the App Factory functionality, you open the App Factory perspective.
Important: If you are using Developer studio P2 Studio via the P2 zip file, the Online P2 Repository, or the Eclipse Market Place instead of the complete install installation distribution, you need to update your Egit plugin before you use the AppFactory tooling feature. To update your Egit plugin, go to http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates/ via Eclipse.
