Zend For Eclipse 6.1 Released

Recently, Meng Dao's friend switched to PHP development and asked about Zend. I've never had a particularly good impression of Zend. Regardless of whether it is free software or not, just the interface that always reminds me of Dreamweaver 4 doesn't leave a good impression. For a long time, a regular text editor has been my main tool for writing PHP. After checking today, I found out that Zend has now moved to the Eclipse platform [Zend Studio for Eclipse Sneak Preview]. That’s really great, as the Eclipse platform is one of my favorite platforms now, given that I've been writing Java for such a long time.

Let’s take a look at what new features there are:

- Integrated JavaScript and CSS editors with built-in Dojo support (why Dojo again? Struts2 also uses Dojo, this thing is really too bloated).

- Better integration with Zend Framework 1.6.

- An improved SQL query tool.

- Bug fixes and usability improvements.
