###composer-eclipse-script###

I wrote a simple composer script, which can help you to create Eclipse configuration files. It is similiar to maven-eclipse-plugin.

First, you have to add a requiment to your composer.json:

"repositories": [{
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/rosiecki/composer-eclipse-script.git"
}],
"require-dev": {
    "rosiecki/composer-eclipse-script": "dev-master"
}

and define some hooks:

"scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd"         : "Composer\\Eclipse::eclipse",
    "post-create-project-cmd" : "Composer\\Eclipse::eclipse",
    "post-install-cmd"        : "Composer\\Eclipse::eclipse"
}

and that's all. Every time you run one of the following commands:

• composer update
• composer create-project
• composer install

your hook will generate some necessary files:

• .project
• .buildpath
• .settings/org.eclipse.php.core.prefs

I have tested the script only on Eclipse Kepler with PDT installed, so if you run into any problems, don't hesitate to drop me a line! I will try to help you as much as I can.

By the way, if you want to override the default builders or natures in the .project file, add this section to composer.json:

"extra": {
    "eclipse": {
        "builders": [
        	"org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder",
        	"org.eclipse.dltk.core.scriptbuilder",
        	"org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder"
       	],
       	"natures": [
       		"org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature",
       		"org.eclipse.php.core.PHPNature"
       	]
    }
}

Have fun!
