I have decided to take the plunge and switch my eclipse version from Indigo to Juno with the PDT and Ruby plugins. I also have to migrate the Indigo workspaces to Juno workspaces. I’ll start with installing a “base” eclipse and adding the Ruby and PDT plugins. I’ll start with Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers and add plugins for PHP (PDT) and Ruby (Ruby DLTK) on top of it.
After I downloaded and installed my “base” eclipse, I need to install the PHP and Ruby plugins. From the Eclipse menubar goto Help > Install New Software. In the Work With field select Juno releases http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
To install PDT, select Program Languages > PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK
Click Next, Ok, accept license agreement and the installation should begin.
To install Ruby, select Program Languages > Dynamic Languages Toolkit – Ruby Development Tools
Click Next, Ok, accept license agreement and the installation should begin.
I like starting with the Java version of Eclipse, I usually do a bit of Java development and it's nice to have when I need it.
Impressive effort! Thought of sharing the 'Eclipse menubar' is very supportive for the new (as me ;)). I'll try to install it and I think it's not tough enough if the instructions are followed thoroughly. Thanks for your contribution.
very straight forward instructions for beginner like me. Thanks much.
One of my friends is searching for this info for a long time. He was trying to install Eclipse Juno and has some issues. So I will share this page with him and that will be a great help for him. Thank you so much. Excellent work.
