“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.” – Whinnie The Pooh

I wrote simple symfony plugin that integrates symfony tasks into Eclipse/PDT.

Plugin features:

• Run core tasks, plugin tasks and your custom tasks.
• Ask interactively for required tasks parameters.
• Tasks list is always up-to-date, it is updated each time you run clear:cache.

Basically this plugin just creates proper xml build-file for Ant Eclipse plugin. Here how it looks like:

I was tired of logging to production servers and clearing cache each time after deploy. So I wrote this simple plugin which allows to run any remote tasks right from your dev environment. All you need now is to type something like:

./symfony project:remote production cc

To install plugin:

1. download attached package oxtRemoteTaskPlugin-1.0.0.tgz
2. install it

   ./symfony plugin:install oxtRemoteTaskPlugin-1.0.0.tgz

3. clear the cache

   ./symfony cc

Configure remote host if you haven’t done that yet:

[production]
  host=your.hostname
  port=22
  user=username
  dir=/path/to/symfony/project/

Now you are ready to run remote tasks.
If remote task consists of more than one word, enclose it in quotes, just like you do for any command line argument:

symfony project:remote production 'cc --app=frontend'

This plugin is basically a wrapper for ‘ssh’ command. It won’t work on vanilla Windows.
