I have cloned a project from a git repo into eclipse Helios using the egit plugin. This is a php project, and I have eclipse PDT which works fine with projects pulled from svn using subclipse and projects start new.
The problem is that the egit workspace files with .php extension are not loading into the php editor, and if you right click on one, the only useful option is to open them using the text editor, so there’s no php perspective functionality.
What am I missing?
Just in case it matters, this is running on a Win Vista 64bit machine.
The answer turned out to be this: I used Import, Project from Git, selected the git repo where I had made the sandbox. In the next dialogue, I Chose Import Existing Project. Picked the working directory that was already on disk.
