Just downloaded PDT Milestone 1, released on July 2nd as part of the big Europa (Eclipse 3.3) hoopla. Unfortunately, so far no good. It incorrectly reports any string with brackets and a dollar sign as a syntax error. Something as simple as:
$result = "{users} $query";And, of course, the drupal codebase is just packed with strings of this kind. So it looks like I will be skipping M1. (I reported this at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195713)
