===PHP Development Tools===
{{Further|PHP Development Tools}}
The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) Development Tools project provides a framework for the Eclipse platform.

It leverages the existing Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) and [[Dynamic Languages Toolkit]] (DLTK).<ref name="pdt">{{cite web|url=http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project.php?id=tools.pdt|title=PHP Development Tools|website=projects.eclipse.org|date=31 January 2013|access-date=1 January 2014|archive-date=6 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606125059/https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.pdt|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Android Development Tools===
Android Development Tools (ADT) was superseded in 2015 by the Eclipse foundation's own plugin, called '''Andmore: Development Tools for Android''',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/andmore-development-tools-android%E2%84%A2|title=Andmore: Development Tools for Android|website=Eclipse Plugins, Bundles and Products - Eclipse Marketplace|access-date=11 November 2019|archive-date=3 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103201135/http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/andmore-development-tools-android%E2%84%A2|url-status=live}}</ref> after Google discontinued development of their plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, that is designed to provide an integrated environment in which to build Android applications. ADT/Andmore extends the abilities of Eclipse to let developers set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add packages based on the Android Framework API, debug their applications using the Android SDK tools, and export signed (or unsigned) .apk files in order to distribute their applications. It is freely available to download. Google's ADT was the official IDE for Android until 2015 but was replaced by Eclipse's Andmore and the official [[Android Studio]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Eason|first1=Jamal|url=http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2014/12/android-studio-10.html|title=Android Studio 1.0|access-date=12 December 2014|archive-date=8 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141208222536/http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2014/12/android-studio-10.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Jamal |last=Eason |title=An update on Eclipse Android Developer Tools |url=https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2015/06/an-update-on-eclipse-android-developer.html |website=android-developers.googleblog.com |date=26 June 2015 |access-date=25 March 2017 |archive-date=27 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927011730/https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2015/06/an-update-on-eclipse-android-developer.html |url-status=live }}</ref> As of 2024, the project appears to be moribund, with no activity since 2017.<ref>{{cite web |title=Andmore - Eclipse Android Tooling |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/eclipse/andmore |access-date=28 April 2024 |archive-date=28 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240428194000/https://github.com/eclipse/andmore |url-status=live }}</ref>
