This is a short tutorial on how to use Netbeans for Joomla Development, specifically how to use it when working with the Joomla SVN. It can be useful to anyone using SVN with a php project, but is geared towards those who wish to use Netbeans as their primary IDE particularly using Joomla.
*Notes
Some issues have been reported with checking out from the SVN. If you cannot checkout, please try putting ‘anonymous’ in the username with a blank password.
Renaming the installation folder is actually not necessary because the trunk disables the check to help workflow, except for a release.
