PHP Development Using Eclipse Europa

I program quite extensively using PHP for dynamic web sites and e-commerce, commonly known as LAMP architecture. So far I have been using Emacs and Vi and other editors in Unix system.

Recently I downloaded Eclipse for PHP called europa version. I was simply impressed by the eclipse feature. what is more interesting is that I could integrate Apache 2.0 running on Redhat Linux machine's PHP directory directly from the Project File location.

The result is 150% immediate increase in productivity. To make this happen, you have to map the Linux file system using samba.

The Next project is to do the same with Dreamweaver -8.
