Create WordPress as a project. I have several such projects, trunk, old versions … for the following, I just use a project named WP Latest Final.
You can use the standard installation with/wp-content/plugins
. I put mywp-content
directory in a Dropbox and tell WP via wp-config.php where to search for it. -
Create a new PHP project for each of your plugins. Use Create project from existing source and point to the plugin directory in
/wp-content/plugins
. -
Click Next in the project wizard, and go to the Projects tab. Choose Add … WP Latest Final.
-
Select Access Rules and exclude
wp-admin/load-scripts.php
andwp-admin/load-styles.php
. Hat tip to @hakre. -
Add more projects as you need, other plugins, theme projects etc.
-
Click Finish. Done.
If you have installed Egit, you probably want to create a new Git project now to get independent from Eclipse’s history tracking.
