Programming PHP in Eclipse PDT is predominately a joy: code completion, templates, method jumping, etc.

However, one thing that drives me crazy is that I can’t get my lines in PHP files to word wrap so on long lines I’m typing out indefinitely to the right.

I click on Windows|Preferences and type in ‘wrap’ and get:

- Java | Code Style | Formatter - Java | Editor | Typing - Web and XML | CSS Files | Source

I’ve tried changing the ‘wrap automatically’ that I found there and the ‘Line width’ to 72 but they had no effect.

How can I get word wrap to work in Eclipse PDT for PHP files?

  1. This has really been one of the most desired features in Eclipse. It’s not just missing in PHP files– it’s missing in the IDE. Fortunately, from Google Summer of Code, we get this plug-in Eclipse Word-Wrap

    To install it, add the following update site in Eclipse:

    AhtiK Eclipse WordWrap 0.0.5 Update Site
