I have a few questions about capabilities Myeclipse 4.0. As a bit of background, I am developing dynamic websites using XHTML (1.0 Strict), CSS, PHP, and MySql. I have configured my workbench with Trustudio (php editing/debugging) and Clay Core/Quantum DB (MySql). I am new to Eclipse so I am trying to configure my “ideal” tool using available plugins.

Can MyEclipse
1.) Validate Strict XHTML (when I tried I couldn’t it looks limited to HTML but I am hopeful).
2.) Validate CSS (No clue if this is possible).
3.) Configure for internal browser view of HTML files containing embedded PHP. If not internal browser external browser.
4.) Use HTML tidy for XHTML doc types (ie it will add </p> etc and “shuffle” tags for proper nesting).
5.) Connect/create/modify MySql databases.
6.) Diagram MySql databases

1) Not yet, we are hoping to address this for the 5.0 release.
2) Yes, it will mark errors and invalid chars.
3) The internal browser is a wrapper around IE, so you can have it view whatever IE would view.
4) You can “cleanup” and format your docs but not Tidy them. However there is a eclispe plugin for that IIRC.
5) Our DB Explorer provides a SQL command window that you can do most things from.
6) You can generate an ERD Diagram from your DB, but it is not editable at this time.

Carol I would encourage you to download MyEclipse and try it for a month and see if it does what you need it to do. You can get a feel by reading through our docs here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-67.html

I’d also point out that with our money back garuntee you can email our subscription department after 200 days into your subscription and say “I hate this” and they will refund your money, there is no “oops you had it for 127 hours” kind of monkey business, we honestly just want everyone happy with our tool and if they aren’t there is no reason to lock them in.
