Hey Eclipsers!

I'm an experienced developer and very new to Eclipse PDT.

Question What is the proper way to (setup) debug and edit an existing web application on a local server?

I have several local sites running on a virtual windows machine using different domain names, which also is a development environment.
To debug & edit an existing web application, I currently use (file / new / php project / create project at existing location) and selec the web root folder like 'd:\webroot\mysite\html'.

This results in :

1 - Eclipse files and a special folder created in the web root, which is not good. I'd prefer project files kept on a different location and not modify the existing website's structure.

2 - (debug configurations / php web page / url / auto generate) to fail making the right url string. It always adds the project name like:
http://mysite.com/myprojectname/index.php
So I have to uncheck 'auto generate' and delete the project name part. It's not hard, but it kinda points to a problem with the configuration as it shows we couldn't describe the IDE the local files' locations on the site, so it's not aware.
I tried mapping ' / ' to the root folder on file system on the server configuration, but this made no difference.


Am I following a wrong path?

Thank you!
Onur
