   Would anyone be interested in helping me beta test a PHP/Apache auto-configuration plugin for Eclipse Mac OSX? The plugin will be part of AppKit, a yet to be published open source project currently in development. The plugin does a very simple job- you create a PHP project (with PDT I assume!), right click on it, select AppKit -> Convert To AppKit Project and the tool
   
   - creates a secure 'best-practice' directory structure for you in the project,
   - generates a virtual host configuration with the name of the project as the virtual host name,
   - creates symlinks to your project files to make your virtual host available and enabled on localhost for development and testing.
   
   All you have to do is manually add the virtual host name to your systems hosts file after you run it (something that I would also like to eventually automate, once the security constraints have been worked out). I eventually hope for the AppKit plugin to support Win and Linux, so do feel free to contact me if you are also familiar with Apache/PHP stacks and development on those OS's.
   
   Please email appkit@ondevice.ie with your details if you're interested or would like any more information. Looking forward to hearing from you!

   sounds interesting.
   
   unfortunately, I don't use Mac /or/ eclipse (vim on Linux is my dev environment), but there may be a few people on the mailing list that would be interested: http://php.ie/About-Us/Mailinglist for instructions on how to join. If you email that, please ask for people to reply /here/, so the replies are archived.
