What's with Zend's PHP perspective in Eclipse?
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 3:23 am
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.
