ErlyBird 0.11.2 released - An Erlang IDE based on NetBeans
I'm pleased to announce ErlyBird 0.11.2, an Erlang IDE based on NetBeans.
This is a bug-fix, stabilization release. Since I tightly modified GSF/GLF modules of NetBeans, this release will only provide all-in-one IDE package, which is in size of 14.8M.
To download, please go to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439
To install:
- Unzip erlybird-bin-0.11.2.zip to somewhere. For Windows user, executee 'bin/erlybird.exe'. For *nix user, 'bin/erlybird'.
- Check/set your OTP path. From [Tools]->[Options], click on 'Miscellanous', then expand 'Erlang Installation', fill in the full path of your 'erl.exe' or 'erl' file. For instance: "C:/erl/bin/erl.exe"
- The default -Xmx option for jvm is set to 256M, if you want to increase, open the config file of ErlyBird that is located at etc/erlybird.conf, set -J-Xmx in line of 'default_options'
The status of ErlyBird is still Alpha, feedback and bug reports are welcome.
CHANGELOG:
- Indexing will skip too big files according to the max memeory. This avoids ErlyBird to hang when indexing.
- If erl/erl.exe is under the environment path, ErlyBird will try to set Erlang Installation path automatically.
- Including function args in completion suggestion.
- Various bugs fixes especially for stabilization.

Ballmer,
Are your erlybird path is 'erlybird x' now?

Excellent tool!
However, you should save the bin/erlybird file with Uniox line endings as it causes the following error:
/bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Dmitrii,
You are right. The bin\erlybird file should be in *nix format, where ^M does not exist. This happens to NetBeans pre-5.0 sometimes, and it should has been fixed. But for NetBeans IDE M9, there is none auto-generated *nix execution file.
I'll check this carefully in next versions.
Thanks.
