NetBeans 6.0 supports PHP. We all know a Java IDE which turned out to be a quite useable PHP IDE -- Eclipse. It seems all the usual IDE stuff are supported, even xdebug. I have not yet tried this one out, but if someone else does, please post here -- I wonder whether it can provide Drupal specific tooltips.

no support for .module, .install etc.

I tried downloading netbeans to use with Drupal Development. Right now I use gedit for Drupal development. I like the idea of using an IDE -- in my Java past, I used both Netbeans + Eclipse and liked both. However I can't figure out how to get Netbeans to recognize .module and .install files as PHP files.

Anyone have an idea?

It is possible

There are instructions for doing something very similar.

Just use *.install and *.module instead of *.html.

Sweet
