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.
Opening the App Factory perspective
To open the App Factory perspective, click Switch to App Factory perspective on the Developer Studio dashboard, or choose Window > Open Perspective > Other and select AppFactory. When prompted, log in to your App Factory instance. You can also specify your App Factory login information by going to the Eclipse Preferences page and expanding Developer Studio > App Factory.
The App Factory perspective appears, displaying your applications in the application list in the upper right corner (click Refresh to update the list), details about the currently selected application in the lower right corner, and the build console in the lower center.
Working with an application
To get started, expand an application in the application list, right-click the branch you want to work with, and select Check Out. The application appears in the Project Explorer. 
You can now navigate through the application's artifacts and double-click them to edit them in the Developer Studio editor.
You can also right-click an application root in the application list and update the application or change its repository settings.
To trigger a build, right-click the project and choose Deploy. The build logs appear in the console at the bottom of the window. To view the latest build logs for a specific branch, right-click the branch in the application list and choose Build Logs.
When you are finished making changes, you can check in the update files by right-clicking the project in the Project Explorer and choosing Team > Commit.
Enter your user name and email, click OK, and then enter a commit message and select the files you want to commit.
