Interstage Application Server powered by Windows Azure (‘Interstage Application Server’) is the first commercial, ready-to-use Java EE 6 platform on Windows Azure. Its approach is unique. You do not have to install Microsoft Windows Azure SDK on your PC, or create a Windows Azure package and upload the huge Java EE 6 execution environment on Windows Azure.
All you have to prepare on your PC are Eclipse IDE and this plug-in. You just code your application and create a .war file as usual. This plugin uploads the .war file directly to Windows Azure and prepares the Java EE 6 execution environment for you.

Great plug-in
I haven't used it very much yet, but it is great, at least enough for deploying web applications on Windows Azure. Online manuals are included but hard to find information about this plug-in on the Internet.
