How to create laravel project using eclipse for PHP Developer

Question

I have been assigned a task to create project using laravel 5 framework in Eclipse for PHP Developer.

Effort

I have downloaded eclipse for php developer and I have also installed Compser plugin from http://p2-dev.pdt-extensions.org/. But when i tried to create project from existing eclipse suddenly close.

I have also tried eclipse composer plugin but I did not get success.

I am not able to create laravel project in eclipse. I have to use composer to maintain dependencies. Please suggest me how to do it.

I am using eclipse mars 1 for php developer.

Solution

Duplicate question, answer here : Create new PHP project in Eclipse (existing sources)

Using PDT Eclipse (or install PHP Eclipse plugin) :

1. File -> New -> PHP Project ...
2. In Content box, check Create project at existing location (from existing source)

I think this is similar to the linked one but different enough to remain a unique question as this one is not specifying that the files reside on a remote server in which case this answer would satisfy the OP
