Dev setup/workflow for Hosted Apps [message #1437142]

Im working on a site hosted at HostGator using WordPress and I was looking for some input on a dev process, mostly around the Eclipse aspects but I'd be happy to take input on the other aspects (publishing). I was going to create scripts for the copy from Dev to Prod, and then DB restores from Prod to Dev etc.

But as far as setting up Eclipse so that Im hitting the Hostgator files (I have a mapped drive, but I believe they support webdav too) and access to the DB, creating the project.. debugging (or at least having it know the url to load for testing/viewing) etc etc

I was trying to find a blog post or something to get me started but i've been unable to find anything to get me started.

I will say I've only used Eclipse a little, I mostly work in Visual Studio but since this is PHP I thought i'd work with Eclipse.

Thanks,
Justin

I have a lot of experience working with Eclipse / PDT and Joomla. However, I do all of my development locally (Windows / XAMPP) and then deploy on hosts using the Joomla extension management UI.

There is a lot of documentation for working with Eclipse and Joomla that I think would apply as well to WP. Here is a link to some of them (just search the Joomla wiki for eclipse):
http://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title=Special:GoogleCustomWikiSearch&term=eclipse

Hope that helps a bit. Some of this might be a tiny bit out of date. If you find that to be the case, please feel free to make edits.

Good luck!
