How to setup Eclipse PDT on a bare Windows box?

I have installed Eclipse PDT All-In-One and nothing works (I can edit PHP source but cannot execute any PHP Scripts).

Do I also need to install my own PHP interpreter? Do I need XAMPP? WAMP? Cygwin? XDebug? Zend?

I'm looking for the smallest amount of stuff that I need to install to get a working PHP IDE, starting with an开发者_JS百科 empty install of Windows Vista.

I have tried installing XAMPP and setting PHP Executable, but that doesn't work.

Still getting "No PHP executables defined".

• Eclipse PDT all in one
• PHP
• a web server (XAMPP for instance) (as mentioned by Phill Pafford in the comments: " XAMPP comes with PHP so no need to install another instance of it")
• a debugger (XDebug or Zend)

BUT: once PDT is installed, to avoid the error message:

you need to one (PHP executable) through the preferences:

, like C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.8\php.exe sous Wamp.

Check also the coherence with the debug settings:
