Setting up a PHP IDE for Ubuntu 7.10

I’m just posting this so that I have a record of it. I found myself building a new workstation at home and found this info scattered across several blogs when I looked for a refresher on setting up everything I normally use.

First step. Install Eclipse.

sudo apt-get install eclipse
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Next install PHPEclipse. you can go to Help > Software Updates > Find and Install and install new features located at the following URL

http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/update/releases

Finally. Install the RSE (remote system explorer) Plug In so you can easily access a remote Unix server and edit files willy-nilly. Note you don’t need to install everything in the TM project.
