[wtp-proposal] PHP support
|
Hi,
It is clear that the Eclipse project emphasizes on its modularity, and
on the fact that despite it's java-based, it's not java-oriented only.
But when you see the list of languages that are meant to be supported by
the web tools project, I say there is clearly something missing : PHP.
I reckon PHP has to be in this project for various reasons :
- eclipse WEB tools project means it's targeted to web development : it
will supports JSP, HTML, CSS...why not PHP ? you can clearly mix J2EE
and PHP to build web applications, so it make sense on a java based
point of view. On another hand, enabling PHP would make Eclipse a
perfect web development tool because of the power of its interface, and
because all main web languages needed to build a php based site are or
will be present in Eclipse.
- the current proposal is clearly Java oriented, and I reckon its
opposite to the Eclipse tradition to be only Java focused. (I'm talking
about tradition because of CDT and other projects/plugins of that kind)
- PHP is a main actor of the web today, so it's worth it.
Whatever happens, I must say I'm delighted to see that finally the
Eclipse consortium is taking care of the web aspect, so critical nowadays.
Julien Bidault, happy Eclipse user
