In case this helps anyone, here is a summary of my adventure with this exact same quest.
Suffice it to say, thank God for the Callisto update site! I found everything I needed there.
As I tried to install the PHP IDE, I kept getting told I need to have something else installed.
What I found VERY difficult was that these were given in the form of something resembling a URL (but not a URL), for example: org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature or org.eclipse.ui.views, etc. These are not very descriptive so all I could do was a ton of Google searches. Does anyone know a reliable place these can be looked up?
Anyway I enumerate these, with a little bit of info about each, below.
1) org.eclipse.emf
Eclipse Modelling Framework
Update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/updates/site.xml
Also available at Callisto
2) org.eclipse.gef
Graphical Editing Framework
GEF requires the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and the "views"
plug-in (org.eclipse.ui.views), which provides property sheet support.

3) org.eclipse.jem

Now how on earth is anyone supposed to know that "jem" means Visual Editor )

4) org.eclipse.xsd

I first did this installation on a Ubuntu machine and had to do all these searches. Next I did this on a Xandros machine but new better and used Callisto.
Life was 1000 times easier that way, so my advice is just use Callisto. I have noted those update sites above just because I went through the pain of finding them and in case anyone wants to know them for any reason.
