By detailing the steps in recreating the error/bug our developers have a guide to follow while they try to reproduce the issue.

3. What platform/version are you using:

Make sure that you enter the Eclipse platform, PHPEclipse plugin version and Java version you are using. These are fields in the new bug form.

New Feature

Submitting a new feature is similar to submitting a new bug ticket. However there are a few things that are different.
1. Be descriptive in the summary:

Same as with submitting a bug ticket, try to be as descriptive as possible in the summary of the feature request.

2. Give good details on how the new feature would work:

When you think about the feature you are requesting, in what way will it be used? How will the feature you are requesting be used while developing php code? Finally what are the steps needed to use the new feature you are requesting. Add steps on how you see the feature being activated or used.
