Hello guys, In december 2008 I did a talk at the french PHP conference on how people can use the PHP Development Toolkit (PDT) to integrate their own PHP frameworks and tools inside Eclipse (http://afup.org/pages/forumphp2008/sessions.php#105). However, PHP developers are often not familiar with Java and they need to use PHP not only for dynamic capabilities but also to integrate PHP-written libraries inside Eclipse. Using PHP as a runtime language for plug-in is also an opportunity to script development workflows. I discovered e4 and I wrote a JavaScript plug-in that performs static analysis on PHP source-code as a showcase: http://code.google.com/p/jspde/source/browse/trunk/org.phpaspect.examples/src/PHPStaticAnalysis.js.
This is a lot of fun and I applied to the 2009 Google Summer of Code: "Leverage one of existing PHP/Java bridges for adding a PHP support into e4". You will find my proposal enclosed. I also wrote a couple of slides to sum-up my proposal: http://www.slideshare.net/wcandillon/e4php-google-summer-of-code-proposal This project would be a giant leap for PHP developers but also a great showcase for other communities looking to integrate other scripting languages inside e4. If you think that this project is worthwhile, please log-in on the Google Summer of Code application and please vote for this proposal. Please send me your feedbacks. Best regards, William -- William Candillon
