    I’ve searched through the forum for PHP+MyEclipse related topics but found nothing that was really relevant to my issue.

    My bureau bought MyEclipse licenses primarily for the DB features, which are great, but also because it would (supposedly) serve both for Java and PHP development.

    However installing either PHPeclipse or PDT into MyEclipse has proven to be a major PITA, as I get multiple upgrade errors saying that eclipse is missing org.eclipse.wst and numerous other things, and chasing all of those down has proven to be much hassle and frustration. I managed to get the basic plugin installed, despite the errors, but then trying to set up debugging was a nightmare.

    Most of the online sites talking about this issue say that using the PDT-all-in-one is the way to go, and will be even more so when PDT 2.0 for eclipse 3.4 is released in December.

    Is there any way I can install the PDT-all-in-one on top of MyEclipse, or vice-versa? is there a way I could combine the two, or at least the critical functionality from each?

    alternatively, is there any hope of a MyEclipse version that bundles the PDT and/or the PHPeclipse plugins?

    I haven’t tried setting up PDT with MyEclipse but are you setting up PHPeclipse or PDT with the version of Eclipse/MyEclipse that they are compatible with? If you working with MyEclipse 6.5, you need to use the version of PDT or PHPeclipse that is compatible with Eclipse 3.3.

    alternatively, is there any hope of a MyEclipse version that bundles the PDT and/or the PHPeclipse plugins?

    We don’t have any such version in the pipeline but I’ll make a note of this feature request.

    Thank you for your reply, Nipun
    Yes i did make sure I was using the 1.0.3 build of PDT which is designed for eclipse 3.3.
    http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/
    I was able to get PDT installed, but the software updates then complains that I’m missing all sorts of prerequisites (you’d think the “select required” button would take care of those, but it doesn’t). And then it’s impossible to get the debugger going…
    any other suggestions?
    your help and insight is appreciated…

    toddhoc,

    Did you get those errors installing PDT into a base Eclipse Classic install, or directly into MyEclipse? You could always start with Eclipse classic, then add PDT manually and then use the MyEclipse Archived Update Site from our download page.

    *OR* you can use Pulse and try and drag and drop PDT directly into a MyEclipse profile and let Pulse worry about provisioning it. That might be the way to go.
