What do you need help with in particular? Your request is pretty general.

The best version of Eclipse for working with PHP and CakePHP is the PDT (PHP Development Tools) version here: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

Once you have that installed just create a new project and place a full CakePHP install into the new project.

CakePHP and the bake seem to be fine. The CSS isn't displaying properly, which is the reason you are not seeing the green boxes. So this really isn't an issue with Eclipse, but more likely XAMPP.

You can view source to see where the CSS files are linking. Paste that back in here please.

At this point I believe it could be:

- Something with the .htaccess files. Maybe a need for RewriteBase.

- An XAMPP configuration issue.

- A CakePHP path issue. If you've installed in a non-standard way.
