ErlyBird Is Ready for R12B

OTP/Erlang R12B is coming soon, which will support Binary Comprehension and -spec, -type attributes. I've updated ErlyBird to support these new syntax, and, with a new Emacs Standard color theme.

The new version of ErlyBird will be available around the releasing date of OTP/Erlang R12B and NetBeans 6.0

I downloaded Erlybird because I was tired of ErlIDE in Eclipse crashing all the time... Erlybird seems more stable, I will give it a bash. Just one thought though, I created a new project from existing source and compiling it did not work. By scouring the web I found out about the Emakefile and how some people use it to compile their Erlang. I reckon it would be cool to just mention the necessity of such a file existing in the main project directory. It's really easy to set up, you just need to know that you have to.

PS: my emakefile has in it the basics: {'./src/*',[debug_info, {i,"include"}, {outdir,"ebin"}]}. This boils down to: compile all .erl files in the src directory with debug_info on, including the include directory's .hrl files and outputting the beam files to the ebin directory

Stephen,

If you create totally new project, a default EMakefile should be generated automatically.

For the project created from existing source files, the EMakefile may not be created or not suitable. I think you can create a new EMakefile by right click on project node, and choose "Other" -> "EMakefile".

There is a bug which is brought by the recent NetBeans changes, although it's not a big bug, but I'm still try to fix it. I hope the new ErlyBird will be available next week.

Hi,

I'm getting into Erlang at the moment and thought what better way to gain deeper insight than to have a go at writing a debugging module for netbeans using the jinterface packages.

Are you already looking at this, and if not, can you point me in the right direction in terms of where this should live within the netbeans platform/ide package structure - I've been looking at Tor's ruby module to get a feel for netbeans but still finding the ropes.

Cheers,

Tim
