[UPHPU] Eclipse is very nice, but :(...

[C. Ed Felt]

You are right.  Your PERL plug in provides this extra functionality.  My 
problem is that the default text editor for Eclipse does not provide 
this feature.  Unfortunately, neither does the popular PHP plug in nor 
does pydev, (Python plug in).

Any suggestions out there?
