Yes, "eclipse WEB tools project means it's targeted to web development", and
as far as I understand, "its opposite to the Eclipse tradition to be only Java
focused".
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform project focus on infrastructure for tools used
to build applications for standards-based Web and Java runtime environments.
This project draws a line between non-Java tools and Java tools for Web
development. This leads to two remarks:
- the current proposal doesn't talk about PHP tools. Alright. In fact, Java
tools alone are a big thing to put on the table.
- the Web Standard Tools subproject is related to the definition of an
infrastructure whom some parts could be used for defining, for example, PHP
tools. So, as far as I see, someone will be able to leverage this subproject
for providing PHP tools.
Having said this, if you want to contribute to the Web Standard Tools
subproject (to support, at the end, the development of PHP tools), you are
welcome!
My 2 cents.
