NetBeans 6.5 M1 Now Available!
NetBeans 6.5 M1 was released earlier today - you can go here to download.
Since my scripting love goes to PHP, I went ahead and grabbed the very tiny (15mb) PHP-only build to do a compare and contrast against the EA Build of 6.1 for PHP. Initial impressions are of a much improved new project wizard- will post more when I have time to actually build something of substance.
My biggest joy goes to the fact that importing existing sources is no longer borked or complicated:
NetBeans was also kind enough to detect that I was running MAMP and suggested that I pull my sources from the default htdocs/. I apparently didn't have an index file. So fixed that with a quick test page:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Plus I also wanted to verify that xdebug installed correctly:
In all, this took me a few minutes to get back up and running with an existing PHP project. Looking forward to trying out the new/improved editing and debugging features next!
