Installing Eclipse + Latest Php Development Tools (PDT 2.0)
Following up on my previous post on “installing 3.4 + PDT 2.x” i wanted to let you know there is a much easier way. As we are coming close to a stable version of pdt 2.x (launch on 29th of December) :
The PDT core team decided to setup an “update site” so you can easily fetch the latest version from within eclipse.
Installation
Getting & Running Eclipse
Get the latest version of Eclipse from the download site. I went for “Eclipse Classic 3.4.1 (151 MB)“. Extract it and double eclipse the eclipse executable.
Adding the PDT 2.x
When you selected a workspace and fired up eclipse add the different update sites (Help > Software Updates… > Available Software > Manage Sites)
A list of the ones you need to add :
- download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/1.0/ DLTK 1.0
- download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.0/interim/ : PDT 2.0 updates
Also make sure to enable the default Ganymede update site.
Expand the DLTK site and select the Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Core Frameworks or Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Core Frameworks SDK Feature.
Then check the PDT SDK feature (PDT SDK 2.0.0 ….). Click install & restart eclipse.
