I have a web project containing mainly php and javascript files along with some html and css files. Now I would like to use eclipse as my IDE for all of these. But looking at eclipse.org - I'm confused...

There are so many different tools and versions, I really don't know what to do or how to set this up. I found the eclipse PDT for php and there's something called wild web developer which seems to be for js, html and more, but not php.

Is there a package I can download and install that does what I want? Or do I have to configure that myself somehow? If the latter - can anyone point me to tutorial for dummies? It's been 14 years since I used eclipse and it seems I've forgotten everything.

Head over to eclipse packages. You can find the distribution for your language.

It is worth noticing, that when you upgrade from an older Eclipse for PHP develpers edition and are missing Javascript-Editors entirely, that you can manually install the "Wild Web Editor". It is included in the current Eclipse-PHP_Package but didn't install itself when upgrading (at least in my case).

Thank you, I will try that as javascript is not really supported by my version even though it's pretty new. And because I once knew someone with the same nickname I have to ask: are you the same chrisman that was active on Taladas.de nearly two decades ago?
It should be noted that at least during last weeks (2021-W22/2021-W23) it seems that if you install PDT from distribution and then try to update it using Help - Check for Updates ... there'll be updates but after those have installed, your Eclipse installation no longer understands JavaScript.
@Merion: No, that must have been another Chrisman. Just now saw your comment...
