Eclipse, Aptana, EasyEclipse or Zend PDT ! Which one do you use for PHP web development ?

• Eclipse Classic
  
• Aptana Eclipse PHP
  
• EasyEclipse for LAMP
  
• Zend Eclipse PDT

Eclipse is an IDE for editing PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, HTML, CSS files and more !

The latest version of the Eclipse IDE & SDK for Apple Mac OS/X and GNU/Linux developers is Eclipse Classic 3.4.1  and contains the Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.

Eclipse Classic 3.2, 3.3 and even older versions can be found at:

• http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.php

and the Aptana Eclipse Studio & PHP Plugins which can be installed on 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 can be found at:

• http://update.aptana.com/install/studio/3.2/site.xml
• http://update.aptana.com/install/php/3.2/site.xml
  

and can be installed via Eclipse Software Update:

Aptana Studio 1.2.1 Aptana PHP 1.0.0 is the robust, free, open source IDE for PHP featuring everything you need to get started fast and get even faster with developing, testing, tuning, and deploying your PHP apps.
