EasyEclipse distributions are prepackaged releases of Eclipse that provides a fully functional Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a specific type of development such as Java, PHP, Python or Ruby.

NOTE : Do not install EasyEclipse in a directory with a space in it since it will instantly crash !

Each distribution contains everything you need to start developing code, without any additional downloads. Note that there are two releases for some distributions:

• EasyEclipse 1.2.2 is the previous stable release, based on Eclipse 3.2.2. All EasyEclipse plugins are working on this release.
• EasyEclipse 1.3.1 is a new release based on Eclipse 3.3.1. Not all distributions, and not all plugins, are available yet in that release.

EasyEclipse Plugins:

• Cross Ref Chart
• Install 
• Manage
• Uninstall

I've often heard that "The Code is the Documentation" but how about "The Documentation is the Code" ?

AppJet have some amazing documentation where "the documentation really is the application" since underneath most examples there is a button that says "new app from this" that creates an app from the code directly in the online AppJet IDE !

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. From pre-installed PHP servers, code assist, code templates, code generation, debugging, refactoring, database tools and more.

 

Aptana have released Aptana 1.2 Eclipse IDE and Aptana 1.2 Eclipse Plugins

If you are using the Aptana PHP Eclipse plugin you cant disable plugins in the usual place !
