Netbeans IDE 7

Netbeans IDE 7 RC1 Released

Netbeans has been one of my favorite IDE for PHP, I have been using it in my day to day usage for most of my projects. I have been using Netbeans since 6.x. I know it's Java based IDE which needs powerful machine just like Eclipse. But some of the feature it offers are even not available in commercial competitors. One of the best feature is "Quick Search", the way it provides search through list of file is awesome. Something similar I have seen is in JetBrains PHPStorm but could not find it in Enterprise class Eclipse.

I have been following and using and following progress on Netbeans 7 since it's first beta release and I have noticed that it has improved lot as far as speed of IDE is concerned. Whenever your Netbeans 7 IDE freezes for fraction of second or two it immediately opens up a window to report an issue. With each beta (1, 2) and now RC1 speed improvement and especially intelligent auto-complete speed has improved drastically (compared to 6.x).

Here is the quick view of features supported by Netbeans 7 platform: Read the rest of this entry »

NetBeans 6.8

NetBeans 6.8

NetBeans 6.8 is released last week on December 10, 2009 and it is on the door with many new exciting features. I am developing Web Applications with PHP, XML, Javascript, HTML and it has been great experience using NetBeans. Other than NetBeans I am using Eclipse for some of the projects and NotePad++ and EditPlus are handy for some quick-fixes where you don't need to open up or create a new Project.

EditPlus was my first Editor when I started my career and after that Eclipse PDT and later NetBeans has taken their place. For majority of projects I am using NetBeans while for some specific projects where goodness of some great Eclipse Plug-in drags me towards it. For anything quick I have always EditPlus on hand, which is really handy if you want to see some formatted code on your Windows Servers. The beauty of EditPlus is it's very light-weight (only 1.3MB) and damn fast. Though it is not Free you can use it for evaluation period as long as you wish if you can click "I Agree" at start-up.

One of my most most favorite feature of NetBeans is Quick File Search through File/Project Navigator Pane. It is the most beautiful feature..it's so coool one can't live without it once we get used to it. You don't need to type through live Windows file-listing, it just opens up tiny search control just as you start typing and it stays with character you input even after you pause for few seconds. I think this feature should be there in every IDE.
