This article shows you how to create a serverless function project with the Eclipse IDE and Apache Maven, test and debug it, then deploy it to Azure Functions.
If you don't have an Azure account, create a free account before you begin.
Set up your development environmentTo develop a functions app with Java and Eclipse, you must have the following installed:
Important
The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to the install location of the JDK to complete this quickstart.
It's highly recommended to also install Azure Functions Core Tools, version 2, which provide a local environment for running and debugging Azure Functions.
Create a Functions projectresourceGroup
, appName
, and appRegion
(please use a different appName other than fabrikam-function-20170920120101928), and eventually Finish.Maven creates the project files in a new folder with a name of artifactId. The generated code in the project is a simple HTTP triggered function that echoes the body of the triggering HTTP request.
Run functions locally in the IDEpackage
in the Goals, then select Run. This will build and package the function code.azure-functions:run
as the goal and name. Select Run to run the function in the IDE.Terminate the runtime in the console window when you're done testing your function. Only one function host can be active and running locally at a time.
Debug the function in EclipseIn your Run As configuration set up in the previous step, change azure-functions:run
to azure-functions:run -DenableDebug
and run the updated configuration to start the function app in debug mode.
Select the Run menu and open Debug Configurations. Choose Remote Java Application and create a new one. Give your configuration a name and fill in the settings. The port should be consistent with the debug port opened by function host, which by default is 5005
. After setup, click on Debug
to start debugging.
Set breakpoints and inspect objects in your function using the IDE. When finished, stop the debugger and the running function host. Only one function host can be active and running locally at a time.
Deploy the function to AzureThe deploy process to Azure Functions uses account credentials from the Azure CLI. Log in with the Azure CLI before continuing using your computer's command prompt.

Deploy your code into a new Function app using the azure-functions:deploy
Maven goal in a new Run As configuration.
When the deploy is complete, you see the URL you can use to access your Azure function app:
