I have Eclipse PDT Indigo installed. I downloaded it form zend's site. From the first day it was prompting me to try the original product Zend Studio. But eclipse PDT was actually serving purpose as it did for many years. But one day I installed it. Just clicked a tempting button.
Now I dont want to use it. Still 15 days remaining. But How do I remove it? From the software center I try to uninstall it. But how do I do it?
What have I tried?
I opened the Help menu. There was "install new software". Nothing like "uninstall". I though in the "install new software" dialog there might be a way to deselect them. But no. There is no way.
Under Indigo/3.7 the "Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Installed Software tab > Uninstall..." option works. For some.

Please let me know if that solved your issue.
I went to zend-eclipse-php/plugins directory and removed all com.zend stuff from there (files and directories). Don't know what was gone but Eclipse stopped bugging about the license. And don't know what's that org.zend stuff - at least the name implies it's not commercial.
That's pretty much the standard way of getting rid of unnecessary Eclipse plugins.

I've downloaded the Eclipse PDT package as well as however, I can't find any options for formatting my PHP such as specifying line breaks, etc.
In this answer to another question, https://stackoverflow.com/a/3517764, there is a screenshot of what I understand is what I should be seeing. However, all I see is an extremely basic setting panel where I can set whether or not I want spaces or tabs to be used and how many to be used.
Any help on getting a good formatter would be great.
Ideally, it'd be a formatter for within Eclipse as opposed to another tool.
I'm currently using Eclipse Juno 4.2.2
Cheers
From what I see, PDT 3.1.x branch doesn't have a fully customizable code formatting rules. If you go and install/update to PDT 3.2 branch you'll get java-like code formatting options.
In Eclipse Juno go to:
Help > Install New Software
Click the "Add" button that appears near the top right
For Name you can put "PDT 3.2 Release" (or whatever you want really)
For Location you HAVE to put http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.2/release
Once you update/install PDT and restart eclipse if you go to
Window > Preferences > PHP > Code Style > Formatter
You'll see a highly customizable formatter to use.
Note, I got the link for the 3.2 release from: http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.pdt
This is my first post at this site. I searched alot but couldn't find what i was looking for so i decided to post the question.
Im a php developer. I was using dreamweaver because i like many features of dreamweaver like code/design view, html/css/jquery/javascript code completion within PHP file. The reason why i am switching from dreamweaver that it doest not provide debugging for php.
I installed phpeclipse and found it very promising but its missing many features i really liked in dreamweaver. I managed to install web page editor for design view but code completion for html css etc in php file is not working.
Is it possible to add all these features in phpeclipse? or
Is it possible to find all these feature in some other php IDE other than phpeclipse?
Thanks!
Yes indeed. There are two ways for the above. Netbeans 7.2 comes with a great support for PHP and also has some good plugins. The other way is that you can install apatana studio plugin in eclipse which provides autocompletion in css,html and JavaScript. Both the IDE's are promising. Try to install Apatana Studio on phpeclipse since it comes as a plugin. This would solve your problem. I would strongly suopport Apatana Studio with your existing setup for PHP in eclipse. Here is the link http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download The above mentioned link is the download page.
I've already got Eclipse for PHP-developers installed. Must I install a new version for Java EE, or can I "marry" it into the PHP version, for instance trough updates or plug-ins? The reason I ask is 1) I want to save space ('cause I'm greedy), 2) I want to not have to switch programs all the time ('cause I'm lazy). :)
Is it possible?
How do you do it?
get yourself eclipse classic
go to Help > Install new software
install PDT things
install Java EE things
use it while switching the perspectives
P.S. you might want to look into Aptana's eclipse plugin as alternative to PDT, while you're at it . Some people prefer it (ST2 user .. no real stake in this)
It should be possible to install both the PDT Eclipse and the Jave EE eclipse into the same folder i.e. merge the plugin folders.
Then you can use both features in the same Eclipse version.
You can add all the Java EE plugins and add the Java EE functionality to your copy. I actually did this the other way around. I started with Java EE and added the PDT php tools to my eclipse and it works fine.
super easy question that i can't find the answer to on eclipse's website....
i have a new laptop and am installing eclipse on it. things seem to have a changed a bit since the 3.5 version i have on my current comp. i recall dloading eclipse just once, and then installing some plugins for stuff like php editing. but the new downloads page seems to have entirely different versions for the different languages:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
so will i need to do one install for java, one for php, one for anything else? or is the method the same as before?
thanks,
jonah
You can install different development platforms onto your base Eclipse installation. Go to Help > Install new software and then try typing in PDT into the Work with text field. You should see it autocomplete with http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/. If selecting it doesn't automatically populate the area below, try the Add button.
You should eventually see options for the PDT SDK that you can select to install.

I am using Eclipse PDT Helios with Aptana Studio on Windows XP SP3.
Very often, my workflow is interrupted because Eclipse starts a DLTK indexing process that lasts 30 seconds, sometimes up to 2 minutes - which is annoying.
I wonder if there is any way to:
Either turn that off or
Run the DLTK indexing process less frequently.
I didn't find any possibility to change regarding parameters in Window > Preferences.
PDT 2.2 (the one in Helios) is using a local database engine, H2, to store information. I wrote a post highlighting how to improve the performance of the new indexer.
There might be another way, but it's requires hacking and I haven't tried it myself since the early builds of PDT 2.2 so YMMV: use a newer version of H2. You see, PDT 2.2 uses H2 version 1.1.117. The current version is 1.2.140. Basically, it involves downloading a newer version from the h2 site, and replacing the current H2 JAR in the plugins folder with this Jar. I should really write a blog post about it. I just need to find some time...
I also have/had this problem and turned off "Build Automatically" in the projects menu.
Which seems to have resolved the problem for me...
So question is, and please excuse my ignorance here... but what is "Build" required for in PHP world.
There are some issue currently being worked out with the dltk.core.index process:
