Hi all,

Recently, I have started learning HTML5, JavaScript, XML, and PHP. When I looked up Google for a good IDE for JavaScript & PHP, I was recommended Eclipse.

I see that Eclipse Neon 4.6 is out; for JavaScript support & PHP, I need to install packages/plug-ins. So, I need to install three files.

Eclipse 4.6 (64 bit): https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/neon/R/eclipse-inst-win64.exe
Eclipse PHP (64 bit): https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/neon/R/eclipse-php-neon-R-win32-x86_64.zip
Eclipse JavaScript (64 bit): https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/neon/R/eclipse-javascript-neon-R-win32-x86_64.zip

Am I correct?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

The installer is OK to load. To use it, you need a reasonably recent 64-bit Java in your computer. The installer complains, if it is not there.

Use the installer to install 'Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers'.

Start up the installed Eclipse, use its Help -> Install New Software menu to install from Neon repository the PHP Development Tools from the Web XML Java EE and OSGI Development subtree.

Hello Tauno,

Thanks for your reply!

I have recently installed Java v8 update 91; I hope it is 64 bit (I have Win 10 64 bit and it must have automatically installed Java 64 bit).

I will start off with Eclipse Neon 4.6 (64 bit), then install Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers. Using Eclipse 4.6, I install PHP Dev Tools.

Will post here if I have any difficulty.

You can check the Java version by opening the command prompt and writing

java -version

and read the details from the response.

The bitness is no great problem. The installer is smart enough to complain if there is a mismatch.

Hi Tauno,

When I ran the command 'java -version' at command prompt, the output is:
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b15, mixed mode)


Also, I could successfully install Eclipse Neon 4.6 (64 bit) for Javascript and web development, and install PHP plugin/package too. So, I am good for now; thanks for your help Smile

Any good books/web sites that walk through newbies like me to learn/understand features of Eclipse (PHP wise)? I see websites that talk about using Eclipse for Java coding, Java classes, Java packages etc. Any pointers will be deeply appreciated!

The Eclipse documentation is at <http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp>.

You should have the applicable pieces installed on your system and accessible via the Help menu. There is a part on PHP.

If you are not familiar with the Eclipse workbench, start with Workbench User Guide.
