HowTo: Eclipse 3.2 + PHPEclipse + Subclipse in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

garri — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:08:38 +0000

This HowTo are for those who would like to participate in the upcoming PHPUGPH PMS Project. It’s just a HowTO to help anyone who would want to try Eclipse with PHPEclipse and Subclipse.

Install Eclipse

1. Open your terminal.

sudo apt-get install eclipse

2. Install Sun JRE:

sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts

3. Make Sun’s JVM default:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

4. Choose the line that says.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

5. Edit the JVM Configuration file:

gksudo gedit /etc/jvm

# This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each # JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file. # The default system JVM is the first one available from top to # bottom.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr

6. Next, we need to tell Eclipse to use this JVM as well. This can be done on systemlevel or userlevel.

gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home

# This file determines the search order the Eclipse Platform uses to find a # compatible JAVA_HOME. This setting may be overridden on a per-user basis by # altering the JAVA_HOME setting in ~/.eclipse/eclipserc.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj /usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/j2se/1.5 /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun

7. User:

gedit ~/.eclipse/eclipserc

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/

Install PHPEclipse

An automated installation of PHPEclipse is available via the Eclipse Update Manager.

1. Click on Help->Software Updates->Find/Install from file menu in Eclipse.
2. Select the radio button labeled, “search for new features to install”.
3. Click on the “New Remote Site” button.
4. Enter the name PHPEclipse, and the URL: http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/update/releases

Name: PHPEclipse
URL: http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/update/releases

5. Click on “Finish”.
6. A list of features will be presented, open the list and check the one labeled “phpeclipse”.
7. Click on “Next”
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the automatic install.

Install Subclipse in Eclipse 3.x

1. Begin the installation from the Eclipse Help menu item.
2. This screenshot show the screen as it initially comes up. In this case you will need to change the radio button to indicate that this is a new install.
3. This screen will vary depending on the features you have installed already. You want to click on the New Remote Site button. If you are behind a proxy and the Eclipse install mechanism does not work, then you can download a zipped version of the update site and then click the New Local Site button instead.
4. This screen is showing the New Remote Site dialog, filled in with the correct information to install Subclipse

Name: Subclipse 1.2.x (Eclipse 3.2+)
URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x

5. When you first come back to this screen, the site you added will NOT be selected. Be sure to select it before clicking Next.

NOTE:
If you are unable to proceed in the installation during the checking of site try to uncheck all Mylar option.

6. This next screen shows all of the features that are available to install.
7. Click the button to accept the license agreement.
8. Confirm the install location
9. There is an Eclipse preference to turn off this next dialog. I have never seen a signed feature. Not even Eclipse.org nor IBM sign their features.
10. A dialog box of the in-process installation.
11. Eclipse needs to be restarted after installing Subclipse.
12. Finally, after restarting Eclipse, the first thing you will typically want to do is open the Subclipse Repository perspective where you can define your repositories. Be sure to also check the online help as well as the Subclipse preferences located under Team -> SVN.

Eclipse Mylyn formerly known as Mylar is a task-focused UI that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand, and uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what’s related. This puts the information you need to get work done at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.

PHPUGPH Coding Standard

garri — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:41:36 +0000

I just finish summing up the PHPUGPH Coding Standard. In preparation for the PMS Project. It’s still a draft but like a software, it’s organic the more we use it the more it will grow. It is based on Zend Framework PHP Coding Standard. But since we will be using CodeIgniter we will just be tweaking a little bit of style since CodeIgniter has a different style in creating your own libraries.

you can download the coding standard here.Coding_Standard(draft)

HowTo: PEAR Install PhpDocumentor

garri — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 03:09:30 +0000

Lately I have been trying to install PhpDocumentor on my office workstation using PEAR. We are using Ubuntu Linux BTW here, (Open-Source Rocks!) but I have encountered something not new to me somewhat forgotten. Every time I try to install PhpDocumentor here at the office typing endlessly sudo pear install PhpDocumentor on the command line. It always spit back a memory limit error! What?! but I’m pretty sure I have configured my memory_limit = 16M; on my /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (for someone with keen eyes might have known already). The unknown issue was probably cause by my smooth installation on my development server at home. And I’m asking what is the difference It should work?! Days pass by I’m almost at the edge of asking at PHPUGPH PEAR sub-forums until before submitting and resurrects a buried thread on how to install using PEAR. Until…

Wait a minute,.. I’m in the command line, I’m using PHP in the command line. Yup! you got it right! If you don’t? continue reading. It’s because I have been using PHP in the command line meaning I should have edit sudo vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini instead of sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. So now you know whenever you are using PHP in the command line your setting are determined by /etc/php5/cli/php.ini.

Now we are set to install PhpDocumentor as of the writing its 1.3.2.

PEAR Installation: PhpDocumentor – We will also apply the web interface.

1.) Create a PEAR directory in /path/to_public_html/pear/
2.) sudo pear config-set data_dir /path/to/public_html/pear
3.) sudo pear install PhpDocumentor
4.) Step 4, there’s no step 4

That’s all you can now take a look and play at your shiny PhpDocumentor at http://localhost/pear/PhpDocumentor/

Enjoy! (^_^)
