Netbeans IDE 6.5

Hey all,

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.

Any Netbeaners out there know how to install syntax
highlighting stuff?

I found it here.

http://forums.netbeans.org/post-46850.html

Downloaded and unzipped the archive and then I stopped like
the robot on Lost in Space when they pulled out his power pack.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Skip

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.

RE: Netbeans IDE 6.5

If you go Tools>Options> Keymap tab, you can click the 'Import' button at
the bottom. It just imports the zip file.
I'm new to Netbeans myself and decided to install this colour scheme,
however I can't get it to display correctly.


I'm also missing word wrap and a more simple one-click FTP upload interface,
so I'm still in half a mind as to whether I abandon NuSphere (which we sort
of grew up with) just yet.
Unless anyone out there knows any plugins that add the functionality to
Netbeans?

Hey,

No import button in NetBeans 6.5 on Ubuntu.

Because that what Ubuntu installs with apt-get install
netbeans and I like to stick with Ubuntu tested stuff.

You mean people still use Windows? Talk about obsolete!

1 - Exit NetBeans
2 - Unzip the file in your ~/.netbeans/ folder.
3 - Start NetBeans
4 - Select the new color profile from Tools -> Options -> Fonts and
Colors -> Profile dropdown

I would suggest upgrading to the latest NetBeans as well, it's worth it.

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->Fonts&Colors or customize any one of them to your
heart's content.

HTH,

GM

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.

I myself and I'm sure many others will agree that sticking to 'around'
80 chars is best-practice, it's handy for those times when you need to
fix code in an emergency in an 80 col terminal, among other reasons.
Personally the 80 col marker (I set it to 78 cols actually) is one of
the first things I enable in Eclipse PDT..

Zend would (mostly) agree:

I only use a character limit for email but I have a wide screen so write
code to the edge of the screen.
Updating code via a terminal connection is no problem either because vim
will wrap long lines.
So 80chars may have been a good idea a long time ago but I think that
the rule is a bit outdated.

Sorry forgot to include this.

Tools=>Options=>Formatting
Set Right Margin to 200 (200 is the largest number the field will accept)

The red line should be gone now

Personally I find wrapped vi/vim lines very annoying, hence why I
stick to short lines where possible :)
