Installing Eclipse + Latest Php Development Tools (PDT 2.0)

Posted by Gijs Nelissen in Programming

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) :

  • 2.0 M1 – November 03
  • 2.0 M2 – November 24
  • 2.0 RC1 – December 08
  • 2.0 RC2 – December 14
  • 2.0 RC3 – December 23
  • 2.0 Release – December 29
  • 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 :

    Also make sure to enable the default Ganymede update site.

    make sure these checkboxes are ... checked :)

    make sure these checkboxes are ... checked :)

    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.
