GRR.. - top posting :(

PHPEclipse is very much still active, and has a lot of features that are still 
on the to do list of PDT. In fact it's PDT which is starting to show it's true 
colours and adding features to Zend which are not in PDT.

We were trying to get PHPEclipse adopted AS the PHP IDE for Eclipse when 
'commercial pressure' from Zend and unsubstantiated suggestions that there 
were IP problems with PHPEclipse got their proposal accepted over the top :(

We would have a MUCH better IDE now if just 10% of the effort put into 
rewriting PDT from scratch had been put into adding EXTRA features to PHPEclipse.

So the OPEN SOURCE option is PHPEclipse and the commercially hampered option 
is PDT :)
