zend plugin for eclipse - zend-framework

i am planning to start develop a website that uses webservices , i am thinking using zend framework.
as i am pretty much new for zend , i don't know much about its tools and configuration
i have eclipse installed in my computer , now is there something like zend plug in that i can download and install in eclipse.
As i have download the Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) but its a separate eclipse studio only , but i want to use it from my already installed eclipse.

There is a branded version of Eclipse called Zend Studio but it is pretty expensive.
Check out Netbeans.

I have been using PHPeclipse and it has worked great.
This is their tutorial how to install :

PDT is not studio only, you can use it with any version of Eclipse. If you already have an Eclipse installation you'll want to add their update site and then install the plugin that way. See the installation instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation for whichever Eclipse version you have.
Zend Studio is based on PDT, and I believe it has better ZF integration but it is a commercial product.

Can Titanium Studio coexist with an existing Eclipse install?

I'm interested in trying out Titanium for mobile development, and it looks like the best way to do that is to use their customized Eclipse-based IDE. But, I currently use Eclipse for most of my web and android development, and I don't want to risk hosing that installation by installing the Titanium IDE.
So my question is... can Titanium Studio and a standard Eclipse installtion co-exist on the same machine without any conflicts?
Yes. You can install both Titanium Studio and Eclipse in same machine. This will not affect your eclipse and it won't make any conflicts. I have installed both together in my system and it works great.

ATG plugin for eclipse

where can i find ATG plugin for eclipse?
even i tried this url
But i was not able to install in eclipse.
As of ATG 10, the plugin is included with ATG and is located in the Eclipse folder (./ATG10.1.2/Eclipse/ATGUpdateSite.jar). Load that into Eclipse and you should be good to go.
You can find information about ATG plugin for Eclipse in ATG documentation.
The one which you try to install seems to be for ATG Dynamo, which is quite old server.
EDIT
It appears that this documentation regarding Eclipse plugin is not longer valid.
Oracle provides another ATG plugin which comes in as a package with ATG 10.1.1 as stated here (not available to download separately).
It usually available in the installation itself. I tried and doesn't really comfortable using that. Not sure there are active development of eclipse plugins to support latest versions of eclipse.

Using the Eclipse Marketplace on Aptana Studio 3

I'm currently trying out Aptana Studio 3 for PHP development (I'm pretty new to all these), and I've stumbled upon a problem. I've noticed Eclipse has a Marketplace that hosts a wide variety of plugins, and I'd like to install one that helps me for version control.
However, I can't find the Eclipse Marketplace dialog under Aptana. Is there anybody out there who's done this before (installing Eclipse Marketplace stuff in Aptana)?
Also, this is a little out-of-topic but I'd like to use Java.net as the place where I'll be storing my repository. To my knowledge, NetBeans has a built-in support for Java.net; is there anything similar for Eclipse/Aptana Studio?
EDIT: If it helps, I installed Aptana Studio as a standalone version, and not as a plugin on Eclipse.
Try Help / Install New Software, and click on the Available Software Sites link. You'll probably have the eclipse Helios release directory in the list, just check it to activate it. A lot of third-party packages have their own release sites, you can add them in the same dialog.

Eclipse, how to combine 2 editions

I'm using the PHP edition of Eclipse, but was told that I also need the Java EE edition. I'd like to install them both in the same install (single launch) and not have to open 2 editions in parallel. Is there a way to easily get this done? I'm new to eclipse, so detailed instructions are welcome.
I would do it the other way around: first install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers and then add the PHP Development Tools (PDT) from the update site (instructions here).
This should be pretty straightforward. Download one edition, then have it install the plugins comprising the other. This is done via Install New Software in the Help menu; first time out you will need to hit the Add button and tell it about the update site URL for the plugin set you want to install. You can find the update site URLs via the main Eclipse website.
It looks like the Java EE version is a superset of the PHP one, at least for things mentioned in this chart...
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/compare-packages
So, I would start with Java EE. Check the plugins and features and use the Help->Install dialog to add any new plugins you want.
In your case, I would start with the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" and then add those plugins needed for PHP. From this chart, it looks like you'll need to add Webtools and the PDT.

Setting up Eclipse for Java and PHP

I have already installed Eclipse for Java development. I'd also like to install Plugins for PHP, CSS/HTML and Javascript, but all the sites that I've checked only offer a 'All in one' package, so I could either download an all-in-one Java package or an all-in-one PHP package, but not both at the same time.
How do I set up my existing installation to also support PHP files?
I use PHPEclipse which can be installed as a regular Eclipse software update
The PDT can also be installed as an update.
For HTML/CSS etc, the WTP can be installed in a similar fashion.
If you already have Eclipse installed, follow the instructions at PDT Installation to install the PDT (PHP Development Tools). This will include the Web Tools Project (WTP), which brings editors and tools for HTML and CSS.
This issue made me nuts 2. First i downloaded the PDT eclipse, which would not take google plugins or apache ant. Then I downloaded the Eclipse SDK to use java ant GWT and could not load php onto it.
If you ask me, this program sucks. I like the idea, however the updates hardly ever work, and it does not support multiple coding languages like it says it does. Also the web site is shocking as it gives you 100 options to download.
Coulnt the have just made the one platform and then provided links to the plugins ???
Correct me if i am wrong guys, but trying to get PHP and Java working in eclipse is torture. Ive been stuck for 3 days now, installing and uinstalling.
One final rant, the download speeds of the eclipse servers are below 10kb, and take about half a day to install one update.
My prob is, I have to use it as the project i am working was archived with Eclipse.
Did you follow the steps presented on this installation page? There is a From update site section in which they describe how to install it from the Software Updates menu.
I had this problem recently.
I started with the J2EE Ganymede setup and added the PDT tools (via Update) afterwards.
Then I added Subclipse afterwards.
G.
(I wish they wouldn't change the eclipse pages all the time...)
Look for "runtime" on the downloads page for PDT (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/)
Why do you want JDT and PDT in one installation? I usually set up different installations for different things. It just so easy, since you don't really need to install anything. I have two setups for PDT and at least 5 for JDT.
Install Aptana Studio plugin. In my experience it is much better then either PHPEclipse or PDT. However, YMMV.
