Alternate list for eclipse ide support?

Discussion:

2013-08-24 11:48:09 UTC

With composer being pushed as the 'in way to go' and not being able to see how
to get some code relating to bootstrap and smarty development because the links
only show composer I've downloaded a plug-in for eclipse that is supposed to
handle that. But it's not working as I expect, and while heading over to the
plug-ins developers is the obvious step, what I'd actually prefer is a more
general PHP/Eclipse list to discuss general IDE problems rather than even PDT
biased discussions.

Is there a suitable list? And if not is there any interest in setting one up?
... at the risk of proliferating even more lists ...

Hi,

I for myself switched over to PhpStorm from Eclipse/PDT and I fear meany
hear use either PhpStorm, or Netbeans in the meantime. I'm not saying, that
nobody is using Eclipse/PDT anymore, but I fear you wont find much interest
here.

Regards,
Sebastian

I'm still on PHPEclipse for PHP. PDT just does not work for me, and neither did
Netbeans for some of the other languages I have to live with, which is why
PHPStorm is no use either. I need python in addition to C/C++ with document
handling, and firebird which don't get any support from either so Eclipse is
really my only option.

PHPEclipse is still in development? O_o The last time I noticed it, it
looked abandoned. However, if it works for you, there is nothing wrong with
it.

(Just realized: There are really back in business. Interesting ^^)

Well, Firebird is quite specific (dont know if its supported bei the
IntelliJ-platform), but for Python and C Jetbrains has other IDEs (PyCharm,
AppCode) :D Just saying: There _are_ alternatives :)

However, my last mail wasn't about telling you, that your IDE is bad. But I
have the feeling, that this audience may be simply not interested.

I'm only using Java in order to make tweaks to PHPEclipse and and other support
packages. ( and the same with python ). We could do with more support in these
areas, and comments like yours don't help, but there IS enough interest from
users dissatisfied with the alternatives ...
The problem is that there are perhaps too many options and combining the
activities of a few would create a more popular common base?

The vast number of different 'frameworks' add further to the dilution of effort.
It's a pity that there is not a single universally accepted development base in
addition to a single IDE into which support could be pooled. It's not going to
happen as PHP now has too many diverse ways of doing the same thing? :(
