Seems like Open Source development is coming to full circle now. I was uncompressing Eclipse, browsing net while it uncompressed and got this - http://baptista.ca/408Contribution/. This link presents a nice tutorial on using XAMPP, Eclipse and PHPEclipse.
Complete web development withought going for anything to buy! wow!!!
I used below PHPEclipse URL to install PHPEclipse as a plugin in Eclipse.
http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/update/releases
Next, I wanted to see the page in PHPEclipse browser. I right clicked a php page and clicked 'Open PHP Browser'. That greeted me with this error message -
Please configure your localhost and documentRoot.
I went to Window >> Preferences >> PHPeclipse Web Development >> Project Defaults and set the values as below:
Localhost: http://localhost/projectDirectoryName
DocumentRoot: C:/xampp/htdocs/projectDirectoryName
I again right clicked the php page and then 'Open PHP Browser' and lo! I could see my php page in the PHP browser. Running everything from inside Eclipse gives a nice feeling to develop and test pages I create :)
