netbeans

Recently I've been working more with Drupal, and noticed Quickstart 1.0's post-installation fizzle: "470 days since your last update"!

I've been focused on billable time recently, but with Ubuntu 11.04 support ending 12.10, it's time to update my tools :-)

What's next for QS 3.0?

What I really wanted from QS 1.0, more than anything, was a debugger. A profiler was just icing on the cake.

Now, I really want a sensible dev/test/prod server ecosystem.

I am wondering what tuning and configuration do you do to make your environment faster?

Here is my experience:

1. Got more memory utilization from installing PAE on 32 bit Linux.
2. Installed APC, tuned MySQL and got about 50-100% performance boost. See my blog post for more details: http://vmirgorod.name/blog/boosted-lamp-drupal-devs
3. Realized that new NetBeans 7.1.2 is working much faster then Komodo IDE, Zend Studio or Eclipse. People says that 7.2 RC are even more faster. Checkout here http://www.netbeans.com/downloads/index.html

Just wanted to share this little gem I found with the other Netbeans users out there:

http://www.amaxus.com/cms-blog/coding-standards-netbeans-php-codesniffer

It's a plugin for Netbeans that allows you to run Php_CodeSniffer from within Netbeans. I've been using it today with the DrupalCS standards library (http://drupal.org/project/drupalcs ) and it works pretty well. There's a couple little glitches, but it ends up catching about 99% of the stuff.

Also there's another version in development here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmdnb/

I have just released a module for Netbeans to aid in Drupal Development. The module is available on Github (full source included).

The module is just starting out as I re-teach myself Java. I have put together documentation on it here. I do have future features planned on the module as I get the time, but right now it really does help with development. You can also customize the module through a custom template system.

Hurray!

Quickstart 1.0 is ready. This is a bug fix and software refresh over Quickstart 9.1.

General:
* i386 and amd64 versions:
- amd64 for speed, but requires 64bit OS and modern CPU (bittorrent)
- i386 for compatibility (bittorrent)
* Share websites folder for access over windows networking

Software Updates:
* Ubuntu 11.04
* Netbeans 7.0
* Eclipse Helios SR2
* Drush 4.4

Hello, I just released an update to Drupal Quickstart:

Version 0.9.1

This release works almost exactly the same as the 0.9 release, but fixes two issues:

• Drush make file problem that appeared after the Git migration
• Git 417 errors caused by squid proxy server

Now, with more seeding :-) Download here. Instructions here.

What's new:
- New Drush scripts for quickly configuring sites:
- - E.g. $ drush quickstart-create all --domain=example.dev
- - Configures DNS, apache, database, downloads code with drush make, and opens firefox to start installer.
- - To delete: $ drush quickstart-destroy all --domain=example.dev
- Fixed 9 bugs.
- Lots of tweaks and polish.
- Better documentation
- 600kbps upload pipe now to help with seeds. Prepped several seeders. (A generous offer to HTTP seed in the works)

(Sorry about the list format, drupal.org ate my ul's)

This is the best version yet. I'm starting a project next week on it, so hopefully, it will get better. If you have any experiences you want to share, or suggestions, drop me a not in the issue queue.

Happy Drupaling :-)

Hello,

I just created a torrent for Quickstart 0.5. New in this version:

- New features:
- New Drupal: Aegir!
- See ~/quickstart/aegir-install-0.4a7.sh.
- Not installed by default, pending beta release...
- New tools: git bazarr
- New IDE: eclipse (thanks DrUbuntu for inspiration and ppa)
- New PHP: imap, uploadprogress
- New Apache: ssl and solr on by default
- General cleanup
- Downgrade php5.3 to 5.2 for Aegir and Drupal messages

Tonight at the Northern NJ Drupal meetup in Panera, Robbie had mentioned Netbeans. Subversion also came up during the discussion.

I found a subversion plugin for NetBeans, in case anyone is interested.

Hi,

Imagine being able to teach someone to review/create patches, without having to teach them to setup a LAMP development environment.
Imagine windows and mac users, friends, learning together to do (blank) with a virtual machine development environment.

I created a virtualbox Drupal development image. I wanted a simple platform to collaborate with several others on for a project. I thought others might benefit from the work.

Features include:
- Slim lightweight image (OS+tools are under 1gig)
- LAMP with APC
- Netbeans and Eclipse with debugging
