[needs-packaging] PDT Php Developement Tools (Eclipse plugin)

As with the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104986), this is an essential tool for Web Developers.

I'll take this if you provide a link to the source

You mean the source for PDT as in the project URL?

http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

Or the actual source?

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.php/?root=Tools_Project

would be nice to have Eclipse updated to Version: 3.4.0
I did the install by hand and it works fine.

should this be a seperate bug/request?

I think can be a good idea to package PDT.
PDT is an essential plugin for web developer.

Bug was reported in march 2007!

Maybe it's time to have eclipse-pdt package in repo?
it is "only" the most popular Eclipse project...

I'd volunteer, I just have never done packaging before. i'm in Computer Science and have tried signing up for a mentor, but no one will help me.

Hi Brett,

I've some experiences with packaging for Debian although I'm not a Debian Developer. So I can't sponsor any uploads from packages you do. But once the package is ready I believe we'll find a sponsor.
If you're new to Debian packaging then there's a lot you need to learn. You may want to start reading the Debian New Maintainer Guide[1]. I also recommend you to use GIT as VCS for the packaging. You can ask me questions on jabber via thkoch2001 ät debianforum.de or via mail thomas ät koch.ro

Good luck!

Is that work still in progress ? Eclipse doesn't provide a PDT version anymore....

AFAIK, there is no one working on this ATM.

I have changed that bug to invalid because Eclipse them self don't provide the Eclipse PDT bundle any more.
