[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PHP missing since EMF update

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PDT 1.0.3 is targeted for Eclipse 3.3, WTP 2.0, and EMF 2.3.

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/release.php?release=R20080603

If you're using something newer, YMMV.

If you want a PDT that works with Eclipse 3.4, use the latest Nightly 
build of PDT 2.0.

If you want one that works with Eclipse 3.5, you'll have to wait until 
2.0 is released.The latest EMF build (from yesterday) is for Eclipse 3.5 
-- there are no guarantees that the still-in-progress Eclipse 3.5 + EMF 
2.5 will work for the still-in-progress PDT 2.0 (which is being built 
with Eclipse 3.4, not 3.5.)

If you want to develop PHP without having to worry about Eclipse 
version, WTP version, or EMF version, get phpeclipse. It may not be 
quite as feature-rich, but it's MUCH easier to install. :)
