[erlang-questions] ErlyBird 0.15.0 released - An Erlang IDE based on NetBeans

[Caoyuan]

I'm pleased to announce ErlyBird 0.15.0, an Erlang IDE based on
NetBeans. This is a major features release. This release will only
provide all-in-one IDE package, which is in size of 17.6M.

CHANGELOG:

* Pretty formatter (Ctrl+Shift+F).
* Variables and functions occurrences mark.
* Better brace matching highlighting, such as for 'try-catch-end', 'if-end' etc.
* "-import" syntax now works in all cases, that means RabbitMQ's code
will be parsed correctly.
*Various bugs fixes.

As NetBeans 6.0 beta1 was just released, I hope ErlyBird has got more
stable also.

Java JRE 5.0+ is requested.

To download, please go to:
