This document provides an agenda for an Advanced Eclipse Workshop on June 30, 2010. It introduces the three presenters and provides an overview of topics to be covered, including Eclipse basics, shortcuts, templates, validators, PHP Tool Integration, Subversion, debugging with Xdebug, external tools, and building documentation. Hands-on exercises are included for preferences, debugging configuration, and debugging sessions. Contact information and licensing details are also provided.

4. Installation

5. Start the engines
Set current language

Anwendungen -> Zubehör -> Terminal
#> cd IPC09_Workshop ¶
#> sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu workspace ¶
#> ./bin/eclipse/eclipse ¶

6. Eclipse - Basics
 Workspace
 The workspace is the physical location (file path) you are working in. You can
choose the workspace during startup of eclipse or via the menu (File-> Switch
Workspace-> Others).
 All your projects, sources files, images and other artifacts will be stored and saved
in your workspace.
 Perspective
 A perspective is a visual container for a set of views and editors.
 Views
 Viewport providing specific information and/or functionality
 Working Sets
 Group elements for display in views or for operations on a set of elements.

7. Your Choice …
 External Tools
 SVN and PDT
 Shortcuts
 Templates
 PTI (PHP Tool Integration)
 Validators
 Xdebug

8. Eclipse - Shortcuts
Shortcut Description
CTRL-ALT-Cursor Copy the current line
CTRL-Left/Right Jump to previous/next courser position
CTRL-Up/Down Move marked text
SHIFT-ALT-A Toggle block edit and normal mode
STRG-SHIFT-T Open the „Open Type“ box
STRG-SHIFT-C Comment the marked text using „//“
ALT-ENTER Maximize Editor
To edit the shortscuts Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys

9. Templates
Contextual predefined code snippets
Configure at Preferences > PHP > Templates

10. File Templates
Creating a prefilled file
when using the „new PHP
File“ dialog
Window -> Preferences -> PHP -> Editor ->
Tempalates

11. Code Templates
Eases typing of complex code structures
(e.g. foreach statement)
 Activation key: <CTRL> + space

13. Validators
Validators are plugins that
can analyse files and set
markers (e.g. Warnings,
Errors)
 They can be switched off!
 Validators can be run manual or on build
 Most native PDT validators are syntax
checkers
 It is possible to add validators
written in PHP
Window -> Preferences -> Validation

14. PTI & Dynamic Language Toolkit
 Eclipse Plugins für Eclipse PDT 2.x und Zend Studio 7.x
 Ziel: Direkte Nutzung von PHP Tools in Eclipse PDT
 Aktuelle Unterstützung:
 PHP_CodeSniffer
 PHPDepend
 PHPUnit
 PHP Copy / Paste Detector
 PEAR Verwaltung inkl. aktueller PEAR Bibliothek
 Erweitert Eclipse DLTK External Checker um direkte
Nutzung von PHP Skripten
 Open Source (EPL)

15. Creating a Validator
The dynamic language validator will run
a php script and interprets the outfit by
matching against an regular expression
We are going to build the incredible
echo-instead-of-print Validator
Window -> Preferences -> Dynamic
Languages -> Validators -> Add

16. Subversion (client configuration)
 Set „auto-properties“
 WinXp: C:Dokumente & Einstellungen<USER>AnwendungsdatenSubversionconfig
 MacOs / Linux: ~/.subversionconfig
[miscellany]
global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store .project .cache .settings
enable-auto-props = yes
[auto-props]
*.js = svn:eol-style=LF;svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL
*.css = svn:eol-style=LF;svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL
*.php = svn:eol-style=LF;svn:keywords=Id LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL
*.html = svn:eol-style=LF;svn:mime-type=text/html;svn:keywords=LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL
*.htm = svn:eol-style=LF;svn:mime-type=text/html;svn:keywords=LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL
*.xsl = svn:eol-style=LF
*.xml = svn:eol-style=LF
*.xsd = svn:eol-style=LF

17. Subversive (installation)
• Eclipse update site
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/

18. Subversion (client configuration)
• SVN connector
• SVN properties for new files
• Customize label decorations

19. Subversion & Subversive
 Setup
 Common handling
 Checkout
 Commit / revert changes
 Conflict
handling
 Extended usage
 Branching, tagging, merging, patching

20. External Tools
Running external tools

Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configuration

21. Build Script
Running a script that creates the PHPDoc
documentation files
<project name="Workshop" basedir="." default="build">
<description>
simple example build file
</description>
<target name="documentation">
<exec executable="phpdoc">
<arg value="-s wp-content/Plugins/PushWP/ -d docs" />
</exec>
</target>
<target name="build" depends="documentation" />
</project>

(http://www.xdebug.org)
 Provides profiling, tracing, code coverage,
…
 Cross platform

 Download from xdebug.org
 Installation support at
http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php

29. Xdebug configuration
Add to php.ini (e.g. on Mac)
[XDebug]
;; Only Zend OR (!) XDebug
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/php5/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 ;if debugging on remote server, put client IP here
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
;; profiler
xdebug.profiler_enable=Off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=On
xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/data_lokal/temp/xdebug/profiling

30. Xdebug configuration (II)
.htaccess - file
#-------------------------------#
# xDebug section #
#-------------------------------#
php_value xdebug.remote_enable 1
php_value xdebug.remote_handler bdgp
php_value xdebug.remote_host 127.0.0.1 ;if debugging on remote server, put client IP here
;; php_value xdebug.allowed_clients <client IP address>
php_value xdebug.remote_port 9000
# profiler
php_value xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger 1
php_value xdebug.profiler_enable 0
php_value xdebug.profiler_output_dir "/data_lokal/temp/xdebug/profiling"

debugging (III)

39. Start a remote debugging
session

40. Start a local debugging

41. Configure „autostart“ options
 Accept JIT
 Localhost
 Any
 Prompt

42. Debug CLI scripts
#> export XDEBUG_CONFIG=“idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP“↵
#> php myScript.php ↵
#> export XDEBUG_CONFIG=““ ↵
Preconditions
 JIT configured
 Breakpoint set or 'Break at first line' active
Debug cronjobs, PHPUnit tests, etc.
