Netbeans has got a good PHP support.
1. Checkout your Moodle project with a CVS client - see Moodle CVS for developers. I personaly prefer to use an external client in order to realise the CVS Delete operation on my own.
2. Download Netbeans Early Access for PHP
3. Install and run it
4. Open File > New Project > PHP > PHP Application > Next. you're now going to set the project. Name, Location and Folder are used by Netbeans, so you can choose whatever you like, except your source folder. Sources has to be your checked out Moodle branch/head. The rest is clear enough, don't forget to choose UTF-8 for encoding.
Example:
Project Name: Moodle 1.9 Stable
Project Location: C:\Users\jerome\Documents\NetBeansProjects
Project Folder: C:\Users\jerome\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Moodle 1.9 Stable
Project Sources: C:\Users\jerome\Projects\branch19_STABLE\moodle
Project URL: http://localhost/moodle19/
Index File: index.php
Create: unchecked
Default Encoding: UTF-8
Set as Main Project: unchecked
Click on Finish.
5. You can now start coding.
- CVS integration: see all changes, lines deletion, diff in real time - Ctrl+Click: Go to declaration - Apply Diff Patch - Easy to navigate - List of functions - Search very quick (you can still work during) - Very few bug (I only had two Notice during I set up my projects)
