Eclipse 3.5 Galileo
Posted by Johan Cyprich on 13 Aug 2009 | Tagged as: Applications
I’ve installed the latest version of Eclipse today (version 3.5, Galileo). The Classic version was installed instead of the Eclipse for PHP Developers edition. I started with the base edition of Eclipse (with the Java tools) and adding PHP and other web development components.
Download and Install Eclipse
The first thing you need to do is download Eclipse Classic 3.5.0 from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Its a quick download at 162 MB. There is no installation program so you will need to uncompress Eclipse into a folder that you will be running it from. This would typically be the Program Files folder in Windows on Drive C:.
After Eclipse is installed, make a shortcut to eclipse.exe so that you can run it from the desktop.
Install Components
At this point, Eclipse is equipped to create Java applications. We want to add components for creating PHP, Javascript, web projects, and a remote system explorer to connect to FTP and SSH sites.
Open the Help menu and select Install New Software. Click the Available Software Sites link, and add the following sites:
- PDT Update Site
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.0/ - DLTK Update Site
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/1.0/ - Web Tools (WTP) Update Site
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates
Press the OK button to return to Install dialog. Select –All Available Sites– in the Work with combobox.
Scroll down the list to Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK) and General Purpose Tools and select the following components. Press Next to install.
Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK)
- Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Core Frameworks
- Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Core Frameworks SDK
- Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Javascript IDE
- Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Javascript IDE SDK
General Purpose Tools
- Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime
- Remote System Explorer User Actions
PDT SDK 2.1.1
- select all applications
Configure Eclipse to Read .htaccess
After all the components are installed, hidden files needs to be enable in Eclipse so that you can edit .htaccess. A previous blog post, Viewing .htaccess in Remote Connections in Eclipse, describes how to do this.
Your now ready to build PHP and Java web projects.
