Erlang Plugin Version 1 for NetBeans 6.7 Released

I'm pleased to announce Erlang plugin (ErlyBird) version 1 for NetBeans 6.7 is released.

NetBeans 6.7 RC3 or above is a requirement.

What's new:

  • It's rewritten in Scala instead of Java
  • More reliable instant rename
  • Display extracted document information from source comment when doing auto-completion

To download, please go to:  https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439&package_id=226387

To install:

  • Open NetBeans, go to "Tools" -> "Plugins", click on "Downloaded" tab title, click on "Add Plugins..." button, choose the directory where the Erlang plugin are unzipped, select all listed *.nbm files, following the instructions.
  • Make sure your Erlang bin path is under OS environment PATH, you can also check/set your OTP path: From [Tools]->[Erlang Platform], fill in the full path of your 'erl.exe' or 'erl' file in "Interpreter", for instance: "C:/erl/bin/erl.exe". Or open the "Brows" dialog to locate the erlang installation.

<li>When you open/create an Erlang project first time, the OTP libs will be indexed. Take a coffee and wait, the indexing time varies from 10 to 30 minutes depending on your computer.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

I guess it's time to get out of Emacs and give these IDEs a try now. But first, I must load up on all the RAM I can find!

@Praveen, you are right, I've upgraded my macbook to 4G RAM :-)

Probably a silly question, but I'm unable to find the "Options" item within the "Tools" menu on OS X. Plugin is installed, but I cannot locate where I can specify the path. I've a "Erlang platform" but it doesn't accept the 'erl' binary I have (installed with port).

What have I missed ? Thx.

@YS, the configuration place seems gone, I'll fix the configuration issue in next release. But simply get "erl" under your os environment should work.

For "erl" under environment path issue, see  http://wiki.netbeans.info/MacOSXEnvForApp

@YS, I forgot that the Erlang platform setting place has been changed to [Tools] -> [Erlang Platform]

Mac OS applications move the Options menu to the "NetBeans" menu as "Preferences"! Complain to Apple ;-)
