Eclipse - how to use it in a team environment

[feenster99]

Hi,
I've been trying out Eclipse PDT for PHP development at work. The setup is like this:


I've been trying to work out how both developers can use Eclipse, but work from the same network share (ie., the webroot of the Development Server's VirtualHost). Is it possible to create a Project in Eclipse that both of us can access and work with, or should we have Apache running on our own PC's, and work separately, checking our changes into Subversion, and then updating the main Development Server every so often.

What's the normal way it is done with Eclipse? Can we both work from the same set of files, to save me setting up Apache etc on both PC's, and having 3 copies of the same files in 3 different locations?

Cheers,
Mattt

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sure i'm not asking anything unusual, and i'm sure Eclipse can do it. I presume bigger companies using Eclipse don't have their developers working off their individual computers, but have them working on the same Server.

Can anyone else give any insight into it?

Thanks for the replies - seems i'm approaching it the wrong way then.

I will look into setting up a mini-dev environment for each developer, and commit the changes to the central server for final testing before deployment.

Cheers,
Matt
