title: How to start a Laravel project in eclipse
body: <p>I have installed Laravel in windows 7 apache 2.4. I installed it with the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Create folder named new_project under <code>apache24/htdocs</code> (which is also eclipse workspace folder);    </p></li>
  <li><p>Then I insalled Laravel by command : <code>composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist</code>   </p></li>
  <li><p>The laravel is installed in <code>C:\apache24\htdocs\new_project\laravel\</code>   </p></li>
  <li>I have also download a laravel_helper_function.php and include it in Eclipse PHP include path. It make the Laravel namespace visible.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Then I tried a simple program, and tried to debug it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
    App::isLocal();
    phpinfo();
    echo("hello");
    echo("hello");
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I set a breakpoint in </p>
  
  <pre><code> App::isLocal();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the line does not executed and stop responding. I doubt that although I have the helper function that makes me to use laravel namespace. However, eclipse seems do not know where to call the Laravel function? What step do I missed? I am new to Laravel. And I have search the internet. Seems no answer. </p>
  
  <p>Please help. Thanks.</p>
