[UPHPU] IDE

[Trevyn Meyer]

I appreciate your feedback.  Unfortunately none of the features that 
have been listed are things I have yet to want.  Have you seen a list of 
jedit plugins?  They seem to do it for me.  Thanks again for the feedback.

I have since switched to PDT - a PHP Development    Tools framework for the Eclipse platform.  Although there are a few features I miss in ConTEXT, there are many other benefits of using this IDE to write PHP code:
> 1. The class outline is extremely helpful in finding attributes and methods in large projects with many classes.
> 2. The Intellisense-like help feature: when you type the name of a built in PHP function (or properly documented custom method) it will give you a brief description and list the variables (type, order, required or not)

> 4. The snippet library is convenient
> 5. The built-in PHP documentation is nicer than constantly visiting PHP's homepage.
