That looks perfect. Eclipse always seemed like it would be a bit clunky. I notice Netbeans did well in the poll above.
For anyone else in the same situation, the following may be helpful as a comparison. Of course, it might be worth springing for PHPStorm as well.

Eclipse PDT
Ok, Eclipse PDT (PHP Development Tools) is a special package of several plugins for PHP development, as Eclipse itself is a Java development tool. But don’t scroll down! It might take a little longer to set up and get used, but it’s absolutely free, reliable, very powerful and has got true IDE capabilities. Eclipse PDT has all necessary components for developing Web Applications. It is an open-source project and everyone is welcome to contribute his or her source code.
The Eclipse PDT user interface might be a little complicated at first as it was not tailored only for PHP, but as soon as you learn all the tweaks, you’ll be a pro in the versatility of the really powerful functions. To adjust almost everything in the most stable development environment available is the best advantage to have.
NetBeans
NetBeans is fresh and bright. It got all the important IDE features to work with and its development is very rapid and open to the public. This is one of those very modern and really convenient environments that has all the features of the classic IDEs and the sharp touch that modern developers require. It’s also free – which is the most important aspect to mention.
NetBeans options are well organized, and its source editor is full of all important features for intensive coding. Navigation is very convenient, as it is implemented through projects window where source files are. Also, there is an important feature, that Eclipse lacks – Code Formatting. Code Formatting is very handy and you may end up changing almost everything with it.
NetBeans is the Letzgro Development Team choice, we love it. It is suitable for all the projects on PHP, and what’s most important is it makes our development process really easier and far agiler.
