I am sure there are people who tried the new PHP IDE by Zend for Eclipse. I decided to give it a go, so I reinstalled Eclipse from scratch.
What I did:
1. Install Eclipse SDK 3.1.2
2. Installed all the features of WTP (online, from http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/)
3. Installed Zend's PHP IDE (online, from http://downloads.zend.com/phpide)
All the plugins are registered and visible in Eclipse Manager, however when I open PHP perspective it's corrupted: some windows are missing, can't create new PHP project etc. PHP Debug perspective seems to be ok though.
Has anyone of you experienced something like that?
I have noticed that the Zend guys here have links to RC builds in plugin requirements (Eclipse 3.2RC etc). Should I use the RC builds instead of the standard ones?
Has anyone got PHP IDE working with the standard, non-RC builds?
Solution:
Just need to go with Eclipse 3.2RC7, then you can use the built-in update manager to install the remaining (required) packages. There's a Callisto update URL present in the update manager by default which gives you a nice cathegorized list of available packages. Just select those which PHP IDE needs and they will be installed automatically.

Yeah, got it working just fine.

As for PHPEclipse, if the PHP IDE becomes mature enough both in features and devs involved (I hope it will), I think PHPEclipse will be abandoned pretty soon. Btw, isn't it fading already a little? The latest CVS release was 1.5 months ago.

I would be great if you would edit your first post and update the instructions with the specifics of how to get it working.Ree wrote:Yeah, got it working just fine.
