WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are searching for all PHP NetBeans users who would like to help us with testing our new experimental build. Everyone is welcome but we would need a feedback especially from users who often have to switch from NetBeans to command line or any other external application (usually because of running some external tool for versioning, PHP framework etc.). All these external changes should be correctly propagated to NetBeans.
On the other hands, performance, especially on non-local disks, could be slightly worse, so if you have any PHP project with such sources, please, give it a try as well because we are really interested in your results.
Detailed information can be found on a special wiki page dedicated to this experimental build.
Thanks a lot for your help and for your feedback!
Actually this just happened to me last Friday, it might be helpful to add more to this post in describing the problem this fixes (I had to look at the wiki page). Is this built off the new 6.8 build or 6.7?

To Clark:
It's probably not necessary to duplicate all the information from the wiki page...
The build is based on the current trunk, so 6.8 dev.

Hallo,
is this build different compared to the nightly dev-builds?
Thanks,
Stefan
Posted by Stefan on August 25, 2009 at 11:18 AM CEST #
To Stefan:
Yes, the difference is, as I wrote, in the external changes (_all_ changes should be recognized). In order to get this "difference" to dev build, we need to verify that this build is OK for you, our users.
Thanks,
Tomas

IT says there are updates. Should I update?
Posted by Clark on August 27, 2009 at 06:14 PM CEST #
I can't seem to use this build. Keep getting an out of memory exception: http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/exception.do?id=250733
Posted by Clark on August 27, 2009 at 06:15 PM CEST #
To Clark:
Regarding update - perhaps better is not to update.
Regarding OOME - problem in JavaScript support; could you try another project, please?
Thanks a lot!

Would it be possible to get heapdump (located in <userdir>/var/log/heapdump.hprof)? It would be great, feel free to contact me directly, my email can be found in the blog post.
Thanks.

I have NetBeans 6.8 M1 and I tested in Windows XP since is out and haven't any problem. Now how can I start this new testing release? I downloaded the file and uncompress but doesn't find any executable or something else. Can any help me? I'm on Linux Ubuntu 9.04 now
Posted by ReynierPM on August 28, 2009 at 04:16 PM CEST #
To ReynierPM:
Use <netbeans>/bin/netbeans to start the IDE.
HTH,
Tomas
Posted by Tomas Mysik on August 31, 2009 at 10:48 AM CEST #
Ok, I started the IDE as you suggested. Now, what's the logs that you need? The output at CMD in Windows or Console on Linux?
Cheers

To ReynierPM:
Thanks for your interest but this testing already ended (it was by the end of August, as written in the blog post). But anyway, the log can be found in <userdir>/var/log/messages.log, feel free to send it to me (my email address is in the blog post as well). Thanks.

NetBeans for PHP is the best IDE for PHP!
I've been using Zend for years but have switched to NetBeans about month ago.
It's great, congratulations NB PHP team!
I've already suggested NetBeans to all my colleagues.

Just wanted to drop a line (this seemed as good a place as any) to express how great the NetBeans PHP IDE is. I switched from Eclipse PDT recently and this is SO much better in so many ways. Thanks for making such a great product!

I very pleased to help this project.
I previously use ZendStudio 5.5 and 6. After this I use Eclipse PDT and very helped this project.
After release PDT 2.0 I see many bugs and tell about it to bug tracker. But Eclipse community adds new features, but not fix critical bugs.
And I start use NetBeans as alternative. I using it 2 months and very satisfied. Ide speedup start, fast and use little memory (in Eclipse I use 2 Gb, but now with NetBeans I use my new Netbook with 1Gb).
Please, focusing on bug fixing, and after this adds new features. Do not repeat the mistakes of others.
Thanks!
Anton.

I used to work with ultraedit later i switched to zend client and i also tried eclipse PDT and other ide's.
I was very happy to see that its possible to force implementing method of abstract classes.
Hopefully you will succeed in doing that for interfaces as well in the future.
I like Netbeans best for PHP (and Java) great work and cheers to all netbeans people :).
