Drag and Drop from Eclipse Navigator

Eclipse Navigator

My primary editor is Eclipse, EasyEclipse for PHP flavor to be exact. I usually open another few Windows Explorer windows to move files around.

Today out of shear laziness I dragged a file from Eclipse Navigator to my open WinSCP tab in the task bar and into the remote site. It worked! That's my tip.

    Bro was wondering is it better than Zend. Well most of the time I got to code PHP with Zend. Yet one of my friends also told Eclips has a PHP plugin as well.. Yet to test it though.. any recommendations which is the best ?

    Well Zend should be better since its a paid product. Unfortunately I haven’t used it.

    I use Eclipse PDT and Easy Eclipse PHP.

    I like both of the eclipse based editors. Try it out and see.

    Here is a comparison of PDT and Zend Studio.

    Looks like Zend studio is now based on eclipse as well.
