I use free PHP IDE Codelobster PHP Edition (http://www.codelobster.com)
It has special WordPress plug-in that has special wizard for installation, extended WordPress autocomplete, context help and WordPress Theme Editor.

@edward I used them at the time to support developing against multiple sites in Eclipse and running them with XAMPP, also WordPress was referencing the blog with a domain name in the database you could always use localhost if you only have one site to deal with.

I’m not using virtual hosts but just the /htdocs as root dir and then multiple wp directories all for different stuff what is exactly the need for the virtual hosts entry when developing for wordpress and xamp?

as for me, im currently having problems with file permissions.
It said: There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

well, there is definitely an index and since i don’t know how to change file permissions in windows xp, i used filezilla to changed the file permissions… but it still say the same message.

but still, nice blog post. i must have just done something wrong along the way or maybe OS stuff, i don’t know.
