default Eclipse in Linux Fedora 14

objective : install Eclipse, with PHP and FTP plugin, in Fedora 14 (GNOME)

Fedora 14's default Eclipse package
Despite downloading Eclipse from its official website. I installed Eclipse from Add / Remove Software in my Fedora 14 box, for easy installation and upgrade. Select Fedora Eclipse from Programming sub menu then hit Apply. Wait for download and installation process to complete. That's it, Eclipse Helios is ready to use.

PHPEclipse 
In order to support PHP Developement, I looked for PHP Eclipse Plugin (eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.3-2.fc14) in Programming sub menu. After few minutes I'm ready to develop PHP project with Eclipse Helios .

FTP plugin
FTP Plugin is needed for easy update on remote host. Do following :

• Run Eclipse. Go to Help > Install New Software
• Click Add to add new site, and type in : http://eclipse.jcraft.com/
• Check Eclipse FTP and WebDAV Support and SFTP Plug-in.
• Click Next, then Finish to install.

select packages to install FTP plugin.

To add new FTP connection, go to File > New > Other, or just press Ctrl + N. In wizard list choose Remote System Explorer >> Connection then click Next. Select FTP then type in the appropriate values.

Eclipse Java Development Tools
Beside PHP, I also used Eclipse to develop Java based project. Default Fedora Eclipse has not been equipped with Java tools. I once again used Add / Remove Software, then select Eclipse Java Development Tools (eclipse-jdt-1:3.6.1-6.1.fc14) package.
