@Stas: Thanks for mentioning the Codelobster PHP IDE. Two points to add: it is Windows software, plus the CakePHP plug-in is not included in the IDE, but has to be purchased separately.

I use and suggest free portable PHP IDE – Codelobster PHP Edition (http://www.codelobster.com) with special CakePHP plug-in for auto-completion, context help and etc.

@Jimmy: I didn’t even notice that ;-) And yes, it seems it isn’t possible to get the highlighting you want. Maybe it will get implemented if you open a feature request for it…

I’ve moved from PHPEcilpse to PDT due to PHPEclipse seems to be very unstable since upgrading my workstation to ubuntu hardy.

One thing I really miss from PHPEclipse is the more detailed syntax highlighting palette. PDT needs to add a new colour for method names and not include them in the ‘Normal’ colour. In the following example statement I’d want ‘exampleMethod’ to be highlighted in a different colour than that used for the semantics:

$exampleObject->exampleMethod($exampleArg)

Thanks for this. I would have been searching for days. My buildSpec and natures nodes were empty by default. Strange.

@Asimov: Yes, that’s another way, but it is a bit cumbersome if you have many projects to migrate.

Thanks for this, I was tearing my hair out. By the way, another way if your not stressed to rebuild your project file from scratch, simply delete your .project file, and delete the project from within Eclipse (but make sure that the default “Do not delete contents” is selected so that you don’t lose your files).

Then simply recreate the project in the same location as previously, and Eclipse will rebuild your project file correctly from scratch.

@Dario: Hm, did you remove the PHPEclipse files in the /plugins and /features folders of your Eclipse installation?
