At work we’ve recently migrated from using the Nusphere PhpED IDE to Eclipse and PDT, the benefits offered by Eclipse are massive, not least its huge archive of available plug-ins.
The one thing I’ve desperately missed about Nusphere is the ability to right click a file and deploy it directly from the Project Explorer, this is about the only thing that I’ve not managed to find a reliable plug-in – So I decided to implement one myself, heres a sample screenshot
I’ve called it Projx Transfer, it integrates with Eclipse Project Explorer, each project can be transferred to different destinations via FTP, files and folders can be transferred by selecting Upload or Download from their context menu’s, additionally it allows items to be queued for bulk transfers.
You find more details and downloads at http://www.proj-x.org/eclipse-plugins/projx-transfer/, the source code is also available.
