Netbeans support for Symfony

Now here's a nice and chewy piece of news posted by ppisl from netbeans.org:

The news is that the Symfony support will be part of NetBeans 7.0. We are going to start work on it very soon. I hope that it will be a part of continual build this year and community can comment the support and work with us to finish it in the best possible quality and usability.

This is straight from the Netbeans "issues" site: Issue 145913. You can vote to advocate Netbeans support for symfony from that same page. 468 votes so far...

According to the roadmap Netbeans 7.0 will probably be released around April 2009. It will be exciting to see how this pans out with the release of symfony 1.2 due in December of this year.

Anyone else looking forward to this?

Netbeans 6.5b released

The Netbeans 6.5b was released last week and can be downloaded here. The full installer weighs in at around 200Mb.

To my knowledge this is the first "release" to include the PHP module. The previous version, dubbed "Early Access For PHP" required a separate download and wasn't integrated into the usual Netbeans IDE which included the usual Java, Ruby, etc.

It's great to be able to seamlessly integrate PHP projects in this latest release!

Thoughts?
