PHPEclipse is a PHP development plugin for the Eclipse IDE Framework.
The PHPEclipse project was started in November 2002 as an open source add-on to the eclipse framework to provide PHP tools and highlighting.
In late September 2009 a major overhaul had been started on the PHPEclipse code base to add in more features and fix many long outstanding issues.
As of Sat Apr 08 2006 there have been 419,004 downloads recorded on the SourceForge site for the 1.1.8 packaged release.
PHPEclipse retains its open source base and has an active presence on SourceForge.
