Installation of Eclipse 3.4 with PHP on Windows

Here is the only correct instruction what to do to get it working
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation
- follow it and you will do it in a matter of minutes; otherwise it can take hours browsing through various unreliable source. I just did it, so I know it exactly.

Just in case if this URL is gone, these are the required steps:
1. ensure you have working Java
2. Download & install Eclipse 3.4
3. Get Download the latest DLTK Core Frameworks 1.0 Integration build, eg. dltk-core-*-incubation.zip. Unpack the zip somewhere, e..g. "C:\TEMP\ZIPs"
4. Download the latest PDT 2.0 build. Select the latest nightly build there. Unpack the zip somewhere. (the same root directory is just fine)
5. Start Eclipse and go to
Help > Software Updates > Add Site > Local Site >  (refer to step 3 above)
Help > Software Updates > Add Site > Local Site > (refer to step 3 above)

Press "Refresh"
Select the Dynamic Languages Toolkit - Core Frameworks Feature
Select the PDT Feature
Install...


- done!
