Any one else have lots of problems using Helios for PHP? I seem to be filing bug after bug and already 2 of them make it impossible for me to work on PHP projects in Helios. Here's what I've dealt with so far:
- Freezing
- Using all memory allocated (2G avail for Eclipse).
- Cannot open PHP files with error "Could not open the editor: Argument not valid"
And some I can't remember. Helios is pretty much unusable for me and I've had to go back to using jEdit.
Any help is appreciated and I'd especially like to know if others are as frustrated as I am with this release.

"the compare view does not work at all (bug 326194) which makes the platform more or less unusable for any significant work"
Agree that, unusable
"Bug 326247 Could not open the editor: Argument not valid" is other bad bug that makes ide so worse.
And there is no update sites at all in pdt helios SR1 installation(clean install), so i cannot get any fixes if these
come some day, argh.

The ant ui plugin isn't present in the all-in-one package. One way round
it is to use the "Install New Software" option to install say the Java
Development Tools which will then pull in the rest of Ant.
