Installing PDT in Eclipse - No runtime option .. only SDK - eclipse

Admittedly I am new to Eclipse. I have it configured properly for Android development but I want to add the PDT plug-in for PHP development. I have followed the instructions for updating PDT for the Galileo version of Eclipse located here ...
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation
When I search through the available PHP tools the only option is the PDT SDK feature. I was looking for the runtime option instead of the SDK. I don't want to install the SDK for PDT as I just want to use it and not modify it. The PDT 2.2 instructions seem to have a runtime option but I want to install PDT 2.1 instead of 2.2 as PDT 2.2 has not been released yet. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I am answering my own question. I found the following URL and used it as the URL to "work with" in the Eclipse updater ...
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.0/interim/
This repository gave me the PDT 2.1 runtime I was looking for. I hope this helps someone else.

WSO2 Developer Studio - when is the next version of Eclipse to be released?

Looking at the WSO2 Developer Studio Downloads website, the latest version of Eclipse they use is Eclipse JavaEE luna which was released in 2014.
http://wso2.com/products/developer-studio/
It seems rather out of date. However, I can't find any information on future plans for the next release date?
Anyone know any more about this?
The tooling is found for download here now:

Click on download tooling to obtain the tooling.
Currently the tooling is shipped with Eclipse Mars and not Eclipse Luna

Equinox.log for Eclipse Juno?

I'm trying to set up Juno 4.2 M6, Eclipse Tester version from Developer Builds at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php. I need to add the Redmine Mylyn (https://sourceforge.net/projects/redmin-mylyncon/) but it needs org.eclipse.equinox.log 1.2.0.
I thought I had found it by searching Juno install site and getting it from EclipseRT Target Platform Components > Object Teams Equinox Integration. But, nope, that's not the right place.
Where can I find org.eclipse.equinox.log 1.2.0?
It's in the update site for Eclipse 3.4. Are you sure that this is the version you need?
.eclipse.equinox.log is in the eclipse update sites (which contains the equinox SDK as well as the eclipse SDK).
1.1.0 is in 3.4.x (Ganymede) - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4
1.2.0 is in 3.5 (Galileo) - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4
A bit late to respond, but anyway...I needed the same package and you can get it 2 ways:
Directly from here:
org.eclipse.equinox.log version 1.0.100
Or you can check it out from the dev.eclipse.org repos:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.equinox/compendium/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.log/?root=RT_Project
Just go to CVS perspective, if you are using Juno you should already have an entry that looks like:
:pserver:anonymous#dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/tools
Just look for the project in HEAD, this will also get you the sources, in case you want to debug...
Hope this helps,
Alex

No new version of PDT with indigo?

With the eclipse indigo release around the corner, I checked the download page. It does not seem to have a link to PDT. Does this mean there wont be a new PDT version anytime soon? Cant find anything in google.
Here you can find nice tutorial with screenshots how to
Installing PDT 3 on Eclipse 3.7 Indigo
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.0/milestones/
In short - put this url as update source http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.0/milestones/
"Eclipse for PHP Developers" package will not be released since EPP(Eclipse Packaging Project) removed it.
PDT 3.0 for Indigo itself will be released on time.
Due to lack of a package maintainer for the Indigo release there will be no PHP (PDT) package. If you would like to install PDT into your Eclipse installtion you can do so by using the Install New Software feature from the Help Menu and installing the PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature from the Eclipse Indigo Repo >> http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

zend plugin for eclipse

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 :
http://www.phpeclipse.com/wiki/Installation
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.

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.
