Recommended web development plugins for NetBeans

Question

I was wondering if anyone has a preferred set of plugins that they use for NetBeans. Specifically for general web development projects using: xHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and jQuery.

I am just getting started with the IDE and have been using some plugins that are available through the program interface.

Answer 1

I've tried both Aptana Studio (either standalone or Eclipse plugin version) and Netbeans. For MY personal taste and needs, I've choosen Netbeans as my main IDE.

I think there's no "THE" IDE, the perfect one. Both are very good IDEs, among many others. Try both Aptana and Netbeans, so you'll realize which one is the best for YOUR needs!

By the way, one plugin I can't live without is Zen Coding (for Netbeans, Eclipse/Aptana + others): http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/
