RE: [PHP] Netbeans IDE 6.5
From: Skip Evans I just downloaded the Netbeans 6.5 IDE to use as a code editor, installed the PHP plugin for syntax highlighting and it didn't look so good, so I find on the forum a guy who has made a collection of files, starting in a directory called config, that will apparently change the highlighting more in line to what I'm used to. But he gave no instructions how this is to be installed and I can't find anywhere in the documentation how to install this stuff. Three questions. 1. Why did you install an obsolete version? 6.7.1 is current and 6.8 is now in beta. 2. You just asked this question on the NetBeans mailing list, which is more likely to result in a useable answer. Can't you wait for them? 3. Did you try reading the help section on Configuring IDE Settings? Once again you forgot to include that you installed this on Ubuntu.

After being down this road with java apps like NB, Eclipse and Tomcat IMHO you get very little benefit from installing the distro's version, which always seem to be just far enough behind the latest to be an annoyance for development purposes. Download NB 6.7.1 (or even better, 6.8 Beta which looks pretty good to me), run the install script and you're done. It's built-in updater will handle the rest. Then if you're still feeling antsy about the choice of syntax colors you can choose any of five different theme profiles under Tools-Options-FontsColors or customize any one of them to your heart's content.

I took Greg's advice and downloaded 6.7.1, installed no problem, and now there is an import button, but when I try to import the new style from the NetBeans Forum it doesn't have any affect. So, taking Greg's advice again I'll restyle it myself. Now, if I can just get rid of that red line at the 80 column mark. I haven't bothered with 80 columns since I wrote assembly on a terminal connected to a PDP-11 in college.
