ErlyBird 0.15.2 Released - An Erlang IDE based on NetBeans
I'm pleased to announce ErlyBird 0.15.2, an Erlang IDE based on NetBeans. This is an important feature release in size of 17.9M.
CHANGELOG:
- Supported OTP/Erlang R12B new syntax.
- A new Emacs standard color theme.
- Fixed some formatter bugs.
- Better syntax error message.
- Various bugs fixes.
To switch color theme, open [Tools]->[Options], click on 'Fonts & Colors', choose 'Profile' drop-down box.
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-0.15.2-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 ErlyBird installed, it's recommended to 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.
