Well yes, it does work OK. The point being though it's an
old (stable) release of Eclipse, but nothing near the current
Eclipse 3.6.0 Helios release.
I'm in the middle of moving now, but when the dust settles I
will put my 'Installing Eclipse Helios 3.6.0 for PHP
developers' on Centos 5.5 on my site. It covers Java,
Xdebug, PDT, necessary repos, and starting to use the PDT
plugin for debugging local and remote PHP scripts. I might
even throw in a few screencasts. But that's another story
getting OT now.
Best Wishes,
