Loading ...I’ve actually never used Eclipse before. I’ve had it installed, but never used it in a production. Not until today at least. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Eclipse, so when IÂ read that a new PHP-development plug-in for Eclipse was released, I simply had to try it.
Having used it for just a couple of hours I’m still impressed and smiling! I’m really surprised – well, I think it’s both because I had no expectations at all and because it’s actually a good product!
I installed it in Eclipse by performing these steps:
- Â Install Eclipse
- Open it
- Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install…
- “Search for new features…”
- New Remote Site with http://update.phpeclipse.net/update/nightly as URL
- Finish and install all the PDT-components
- Restart Eclipse
- Window -> Open Perspective -> Other
- Select PHP
As far as I remember that was all! Nice and easy!
Now the next step ought to be to find out whether C-development in Eclipse is as enjoying as well
