It's really simple, at least in Zend Studio Neon: go to Preferences/PHP/Formatter.

Then click on Import and choose the XML file with the conventions. If conventions by the same name exist, you will be asked whether to override them or rename the imported conventions. Apply, and you can now use them.

Not sure how how this relates to the default PDT system, though.

It's pretty much like importing them: go to Preferences/PHP/Formatter.

Then click on Export and name the resulting XML file with the formatting preferences.

Hi,
on PDT still no luck to import OSInet rules, does anybody know how to make it?
Thanks

It seems this feature is only present when using the full Zend Studio for Eclipse, which is more featured than the basic PDT.

See the section about "Editor and File Management" at: http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/compare

And still no way to import/export formatting rules. I guess this will remain Zend Studio-only.

In Eclipse 3.4 the PDT environment does not have an import option under preferences @ PHP > Code Style > Formatter to import the Osinet profile from the supplied XML. Should I try to import at PHP > Code Style > Code Templates?

code templates are different from the formatter. code templates work with the auto complete function. so if you have code template for say drupal hooks which then you can import these at PHP > Code Style > Code Templates and have them trigger options available when you type "hook_" ctrl+space

This is different from formatter which will clean up the page and bring {} to where you want them etc.

PDT only has 2 formatting options spaces and indentation size. PHPeclipse has more code formatting options but doesn't do remote debugging with xdebug yet. there is no perfect option.
