Earlier this week I ran into an issue with Eclipse PDT (PHP Development Tools) after upgrading to the latest version (Europa 3.?). My development platform is Windows XP and IIS, 3.2 P4 1GB RAM, IIS, PHP 5 ISAPI, MySQL. We call this the WIMP configuration (Windows IIS MySQl PHP) .
Some of the scripts in our application are quite large and something happened with the PDT; it simply takes forever for Eclipse to parse the script and extract all the classes/variables to render the Outline perspective. This gets really frustrating as it goes through this process on regular intervals as you work through the script. I can’t really complain about Eclipse up until now, its been my development workhorse for the past while and will eventually get fixed in this regard. I have faith. What do you want for free after all?
This lead me down a path where I uncovered things I’d rather not know or have experienced…
