[ubuntu-uk] Program Development

[Jai Harrison]

Hey fellow Ubuntu users,

I have recently been trying to work out how to do a number of things
involved in programming on my machine. What I would like is version
control along with different revision comparisons and possibly (not
essential but nice to have) auto completion. I tend to develop in PHP
and Java at the moment and have always previously used Eclipse for
Java and gEdit for PHP.

Eclipse works well for Java development however I've been unable to
get version control to work inside it (namely because I've had trouble
trying to get a local SVN instance to work). PHP development I'm not
so sure about using it for - I've looked at Eclipse PDT but it seems a
bit excessive for what I want and I found myself getting lost in the
interface.

So to summarise:

- Version Control
- Revision Comparisons
- PHP and Java
- Autocompletion (not essential but nice to have)

Anyone have any experience in applications to meet these requirements?

Jai
