ErlyBird 0.15.1 Released - An Erlang IDE based on NetBeans
I'm pleased to announce ErlyBird 0.15.1, an Erlang IDE based on NetBeans. This is a performance improvement release. This release will only provide all-in-one IDE package, which is in size of 18.3M.
CHANGELOG:
- Performance improvement.
- Integrated with NetBeans' Common Scripting Framework. Thanks Tor.
- Fix a bug related to occurrences mark on built-in functions.
- Fix bug of wrong formatting multiple-lines string.
- Supports "-module(x.y.z)" syntax.
- Various bugs fixes.
Java JRE 5.0+ is required.
To download, please go to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439
To install:
- Unzip erlybird-bin-0.15.1-ide.zip to somewhere.
- Make sure 'erl.exe' or 'erl' is under your environment path
- For Windows user, execute 'bin/erlybird.exe'. For *nix user, 'bin/erlybird'.
- Check/set your OTP path. From [Tools]->[Options], click on 'Erlang', then 'Erlang Installation' tab, 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, ErlyBird now works good with less memory, such as -Xmx128M. If you want to increase/decrease it, please open the config file that is located at etc/erlybird.conf, set -J-Xmx of 'default_options'.
When run ErlyBird first time, the OTP libs will be indexed. The indexing time varies from 10 to 30 minutes deponding on your computer.
Notice:
If you have previous version of ErlyBird 0.12.0+ installed, you can keep your old cache files, otherwise, please delete the old cache files which are located at:
- *nix: "${HOME}/.erlybird/dev"
- mac os x: "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/erlybird/dev"
- windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\.erlybird\dev" or some where
The status of ErlyBird is still Alpha, feedbacks and bug reports are welcome.

For Windows environment, first, make sure you have had Erlang installed, usally when it's be installed, the 'path' of environment should have been set automatically. If not, try to find where the erl.exe is, and set via, [My Computer] -> [Advanced] -> [Environment], add the erl.exe directory to the 'PATH''s field.
