http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/release.php?release=I200...

PDT Runtime

(this is from the 'old' pdt download page)
download the .zip.. org.eclipse.php_feature-N20081028
(this is an installation of eclipse...??)

select 'eclipse 2' or whatever the folder named itself as a new site

you add a local folder
then you'll see 'uncategorized, pdt feature' -- add, install, restart etc.

11. add svn respositories
The perspective is SVN repository exploring

http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html

ADJUST SETTINGS

TREE vs. compressed folders
preferences > team > how folders display -- set to tree, or when you check out the folder structure will be different
PHP -- reg settinngs from eclipse 3.3   ** NOTE: THIS IS FLAKY...not sure why it works sometimes and not others. looks like there have been issues with this in the past...keep eye on it.

But note too -- php function view works with compressed folders. compressed folders is just a view of folders on your system. compressed folders is almost better if you can actually browse php functions of svn...just make sure it commits normal still

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/1.0 -- need this to work too...
add site, click it get dyn lang toolkit, install, restart

GETTING .module to show up in php editor

1. General > Content Types > click PHP

add
*.module

also make sure configured
TEXT type
*.install
*.info

ADD later, perhaps with flexbuilder
*.as  (for flash)

12. configure ftp/sftp (aptana-only)
"synchronize"
set up server (new sftp)

configure 'advanced cloaking features'
exclude
.settings
.svn
.tmp
CVS
.project
settings.php
media
media_static
sites/all/files
sites/all/files_static
sites/all/default
.htaccess
*.sql
*.fla
*.psd
*.ai

configure SVN ignore
settings.php
media
media_static
sites/all/files
sites/all/files_static
sites/all/default
.htaccess

13. configure new database features (aptana-only)
figuring it out still

14. other exciting stuff...(with aptana)
figuring it out still

15.  and then go add flex builder plugins  (not free!)
later
