PDT Eclipse to auto upload on save

Question

I am migrating from a Dreamweaver forced working environment to a free-of-choice one. That said I must say I was rather enthusiastic about being able to use Dreamweaver PDT. However I have come to rely very heavily on the use of the "auto upload on save" function.

I am developing LAMP but oriented to a Windows base majority so I really must run Windows native and test heavy for IE, all projects work smooth on FF and Safari, IE's really the bottleneck. On the other hand I like to have my project served by a clone of the server so I have a Virtual machine on windows running Linux that works as my Dev Server.

As you can tell the auto-update on save works like a charm.

I've dug up some of the documentation and I've also Google quite a bit and found nothing (besides Aptana) to suit my needs. I am looking in the wrong direction or isn't there really something like this for Eclipse?

Thank you in advance!

This works perfectly with Aptana 2.0: http://juergen-schwind.de/Save-and-Upload-Current-File-fuer-Aptana-Studio-1-5_9.html

function main(){
    editors.activeEditor.save();
    sync.uploadCurrentEditor();
}

It is much cleaner, and is functioning with all file types(including php). I installed it in scripts directory of current project. Somewhere I read that you could make project e.g. “Nice Scripts” where you could save all your scripts that you want to work in all projects. And than reference that project in other projects, did not tried it but maybe someone will need it.

And also I find this very useful: docs.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Assigning_a_keyboard_shortcut_to_a_snippet

Note that M1 is Control/Command, M2 is Shift, and M3 is Alt/Option

Apply it at will to first line in comment that contains "Key: M1+M2+S", I changed it to M1+R since it does not conflict with any existing shortcut.
