Eclipse PDT tutorial?

[nick1]

Greetings,

I am interested in using the Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) IDE.
Currently, I create and edit my PHP scripts in a text editor such as Gedit.

I have the PDT all-in-one package installed and running on my Ubuntu 6.06LTS desktop. Now I'm looking for a quick start tutorial on how to use PDT.

The PDT homepage http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/index.php doesn't include this type of documentation and a google search didn't turn up much either.

I'm looking for a basic tutorial on how to use PDT. I don't have a lot of time to learn the entire Eclipse platform. I would appreciate it if someone could please point me to such a document.

Thank you for your time,

Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) and phpeclipse (www.phpeclipse.de) are not the same thing, but they both do essentially the same thing (PHP Editor / Debugger for Eclipse).

Phpeclipse is a completely open project that has been around for quit some time. Development for phpeclipse is often slow. I've had problems with it not working with new version of PHP and activity on the site is often nonexistent.

PDT is a project recently created by Zend. Its still early in development and as such has bugs and lacks some features. Documentation for it is completely nonexistent. I have found a tutorial on using PDT with XDebug (instead of the Zend debugger) which has some good information of PDT in general. The tutorial is included with the XDebug plugins here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169408
