Good News!

JetBrains has granted our community another year of free use of its
outstanding IDE PhpStorm. If you want to renew your installation, just
send me a mail and I'll send you the key.

Regards,
Niels

Please forgive my ignorance but what are the advantages of PHPStorm over
more familiar open source products such as Eclipse?

Best wishes, Garf.

Speaking from my personal opinion having myself converted from Eclipse to
PhpStorm (and, FWIW, I did give NetBeans a chance, but I personally didn't
like it).

For me, a couple of the benefits of PhpStorm include the built in support
for version control systems (Eclipse mostly required plugins for this),
good integration with external tools (PHPUnit support is built in, support
for PHP_CodeSniffer and Phing are available as plugins), better memory
usage, what feels like better PHP support (for me anyways), and simpler
updates. Especially on the last topic, I had a difficult time keeping
Eclipse up to date; that problem doesn't exist for me in PhpStorm.

At the end of the day, everyone has their preferred tool. I know a few
who use advanced text editors to code and avoid IDEs. Niels has given us
one more tool to have at our disposal by getting an open source license
for the Joomla project from the JetBrains team.

Done.

To all others, who are interested: Please mail me directly, not on the list!

Hi Niels,

This enthusiasm is contagious, difficult to shake off. I've got to try out PHPStorm too.

Thanks!

From the Phing web page: "PHing Is Not GNU make; it's a project build system based on Apache Ant."
So isn't Phing just a PHP implementation of Ant?.

Netbeans supports ant... it's been doing so for a long time

Plus, NetBeans needs no "license" update....

With PHPStorm 4.0 there is a lot of integration with Phing, Jenkins, etc.   So I'm wondering if you have any "magic" config for PHPStorm for working Joomla!?

So far I've been running into difficulty with tabs vs spaces. and trying to get codesniffer to run on just my changes to let me know when I'm breaking things.

A Joomla configuration on tabs/spacing/comments/etc would help quite a bit.

Oh, and as an aside, my personal system is Windows 7 64-bit.   PHPStorm embeds a copy of Java 1.6 which is 32-bit and seems to have a performance impact on my system.  I found it much much faster to use 64 bit Java 1.7.   From http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2011/09/phpstorm-webstorm-2-1-4-performance-update/ the basic process was:
Delete the jre folder in the phpstorm folder.   If that folder does not exist, PHPStorm will attempt to load the JDK and JRE from the environmental variables: JAVA_HOME AND JRE_HOME i
Make sure JAVA_HOME & JRE_HOME point to the latest 64 bit Java installation!
I found this much faster and better with memory.   Note, as of the beginning of may, there is a known bug with Java 1.7 64 bit under windows where it is unable to access FTP, so by doing this you won't be able to use FTP unless that has been fixed[the bug is from Sun/Oracle, so they are the ones who need to fix it].  http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5459102#5459102  Since I use SSH/SFTP which work just fine, it doesn't affect me.

Also I find using ProcessLasso - http://bitsum.com/prolasso.php - helps me keep an eye on the system hogs[and I use it to give PHPStorm it's own CPU core which it only shares with a few other processes]



My own opinion on IDE's in case others are curious:

Eclipse: THE standard and it works well for many many people.  I personally simply cannot wrap my head around Eclipse and PHP programming.  Which is odd because I AM able to use Eclipse for C/C++ coding for microprocessors, and Android/Java coding..

Aptana: While mostly just a facelift of Eclipse, I've found it to organize things in a manner where I was able to use it productively.  Unfortunately, it was very fiddly and I gave up on it.

Netbeans: THE gold standard on user friendly interface.   Unfortunately, they just lag too far behind the latest PHP features to be usable for me for PHP, and while it's great for C/C++ all the coding examples for the MSP430 start with eclipse and it's way easier to use it.

IntelliJIDE: interestingly, while this is a "superset" of PHPStorm along with an IDE for a lot of other languages, it's interface is completely different from PHPStorm and it lags behind in features[I tend to use the bleeding edge RC code for PHPStorm] - so I don't use it.

KomodoIDE - this WAS the gold standard at one time and I can't recall why I migrated away from it, but I did.

Ultraedit - always has been the platinum standard in windows IDE's, but it's limitation to only running on windows made me forgo upgrading years ago.

PHPStorm - my preferred IDE and I keep re-upping my license for it - which is why I never asked for a license.  XDebug tends to be a little fiddly but doable.   Git support is pretty good, but I still use a secondary commercial git client[SmartGit] for some ease of use functions.  I find using PHPStorm to mange a local branch to a server works fine..merging is a bit finicky and smartgit just seems to work better,

Well, I feel stupid.

From the bottom of the checkstyle error page, http://developer.joomla.org/pulls/pulls/1209.html
"BTW: If you want to run this tests on your own machine - The source code is available on GitHub, based on Ian MacLennan's PullTester with signifiant enhancements by Nikolai Plath." 

So, now I have a subproject to work on and no excuses

Do not forget. The PHP Storm free licenses keys, cannot be used for commercial developpement and in normal case Joomla key can only be used for Joomla! Gnu/GPL developements

I'm getting into some python development that is being called from Joomla and came across this:

http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/buy/buy.jsp#openSource

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a licence key for PyCharm under the Joomla project's involvement. If it works well for me, I will be recommending it to my colleagues.

Many thanks,

Joe

Joe,
My recommendation would be to use Eclipse (you may already use the PDT IDE for PHP development) and install PyDev IDE (http://pydev.org/).

JB

Sorry, the last license I got expired this past May, so I'm not running the most current version.  Been busy with a new job and other life issues and have not worked on my components or any thing since this past Feb.
