Using NetBeans IDE Early Access for PHP for Drupal Development

Since NetBeans IDE Early Access for PHP it is nicely possible to use NetBeans to work with php projects.

But to use it for Drupal projects, there exists these .module and .install files, which also contain php code, but are not recogniced by NetBeans as such, you need a slight modification to one file in your NetBeans installation:

Take the file netbeans/php1/modules/org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar and unzip it in a new directory.
Edit the file org/netbeans/modules/php/editor/resources/PHPMimeResolver.xml and add the lines:

<ext name="module"/>
<ext name="install"/>

Now zip the files in your directory to org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar and replace the original file org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar with that.

Now NetBeans is a little more friendly to Drupal
