Eclipse indigo PDT 3.0 gotcha

I understand PDT is not a part of Eclipse Indigo. I installed from Help > Install new software and restarted. Still, I do not see PHP as an option in Perspective. Only Java is seen. Can anyone help in getting me on PHP development with Indigo?

it should really be that simple.

  • download "Eclipse Classic"

  • unzip/install to a new folder location (e.g. c:\eclipse-indigo-win32\

  • go to help->install new software
  • select Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo from the "Work with" drop down list
  • type "php" in the filter text
  • Select "PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature
  • select /next/ok/agree/finish etc..
  • wait for install and restart when prompted

to check installation version - go to help->about then click the "Installation Details" button - look for the version next to "PHP Development Tools (PDT) all-in-one SDK v3.0.0" - also check "Eclipse SDK" should be 3.7.0

ensure perspective is selected, - next to perspective buttons - click icon with "+" symbol - select "other" - highlight "PHP" - select "OK, PHP will now be included in the list of open perspectives
