Eclipse indigo PDT 3.0 gotcha

Asked 1/7, 2011 at 13:47 Answered 11/10, 2012 at 5:59

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

Thanks Ben. I had to uninstall the earlier PDT I uninstalled and installed the way you'd described. It worked. – Protection 7/7, 2011 at 5:31
