I am trying to get Eclipse + Zend on Ubuntu. I was given two options:
a) 1) Install from command prompt and then 2) install PDT as new feature
b) Install all-in-one from Zend (or Eclipse + PDT)
----------------
I tried a-1 successfully and was able to HelloWorld on Java. My Eclipse
sits nicely at Applications -> Programming -> Eclipse.
I added the eclipse/pdt site but then when I try to install available new
features I get a message that the new feature requires "org.eclipse.wst
(2.0.0)". I don't know that that is but it's not listed in the available
features from eclipse
So I uninstalled eclipse
----------------
I tried b) and it was very easy, I extracted my Eclipse folder to my
desktop (although I much rather have it at Applications -> Programming ->
Eclipse) and I'm able to start Eclipse. However, I set my workspace as
"/var/www" but I could only do it once. Now I get a message that the
workspace cannot be created or it is in use. I did some research and
deleted all ".lock" files in my workspace and Eclipse folders, I've also
read that Eclipse needs to be killed sometimes but "ps -a" only results in
"ps", there's no Eclipse to kill.
So I tried the default /home/"me"/workspace as my workspace, once inside I
tried to change it back to "/var/www" and I get a message that another
instance of Eclipse is using it so I can't do that either.
I re-installed eclipse and uninstalled it, I cleaned up installation
files, I've rebooted like a hundred times now (well.. almost). I've
deleted directories, etc. No luck so far.
Any suggestions on how to fix either the a) or the b) approach?
Thanks in advance

You didn't indicate whether your using Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) or 3.4
(Ganymede). Installing PDT with Ganymede is a bit trickier than
installing it with Europa.
I haven't tried making /var/www my workspace, so I don't know for sure,
but if you're running a web server, might that be locking stuff in
/var/www? Why not just put the workspace someplace safe (such as
~/Eclipse)? Note that you can put the PHP files for a project anyplace
accessible (presumably including /var/www) and still work on them from
Eclipse (by importing them into a project). Eclipse stores project
settings etc. in the workspace, but project source files can be elsewhere.

True, I'm sorry. I'm trying to install 3.4 Ganymede. But if Europa is
easier to install. I my just install it (since I'm new to Eclipse,
anyways).
Thanks for the suggestion.
So you're saying that my workspace can be in a folder (~/Eclipse for
example) and then my PHP files in /var/www/mysite and then import them
into my project? Does this mean that I can continue creating PHP files in
Eclipse and they can be stored in /var/www/mysite rather than in ~/Eclipse
?

You can get PDT working in Ganymede without *too* much hassle; it's just
not as convenient as with Europa. The instructions at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation worked for me.

Yes.

Yes (as long as that directory is writable by whatever account you're
using when you run Eclipse). When you create a new PHP project, the
wizard will ask you to provide a project name. In that dialog, you'll
see "Project contents" with a check on "Use default". Uncheck that and,
in the "Directory" entry, browse to /var/www/mysite. Eclipse will store
both some metadata (.project etc.) and your PHP files there.
Alternatively, you can create a new PHP project the usual way, then
right-click the project in the PHP Explorer view and use Build Path ->
Link Source to link /var/www/mysite to the project. Give the linked
directory a name within the project structure (which could be, say,
'mysite'). That will import whatever is in /var/www/mysite, and any
file you create inside Eclipse in the 'mysite' folder will sit in
/var/www/mysite. The difference with this approach is that the metadata
files will be parked somewhere in the Eclipse workspace, rather than in
/var/www/mysite, and you can create additional folders for the same
project that live in the Eclipse workspace rather than having to put
everything in /var/www/mysite.
