 ## Its now time to press the Finish button and create the project.
 # Although NetBeans succeeds detecting where the PHP interpreter is located and thereby also xdebug, lets make sure that this is correct by going to Tools > Options menu and click to the PHP section (among the top horizontal bar of icons). In the General tab we should be able to verify that the PHP 5 Interpreter is the correct one and that the Debugger Port option contains the same value as the xdebug.remote_port parameter in the PHP ini file of the interpreter referred to.

 # With this behind us let us create our index.php file and put a simple statement, ex. echo "hello netbeans". Press F6 and the project should run by invoking index.php either in your default browser or one you would be able to configure in Tools > Options > General > Web Browser. With the given example, this should output "hello netbeans" in your browser.

 NetBeans provides you a modern slim PHP IDE. Very fast (even in larger projects) and good code completion, file/code/property explorer and excellent HTML/CSS/Javascript support. Subversion and xdebug support works almost out of the box as we will see below. Current version of NetBeans is 6.8. Version 6.9 with a lot of small goodies, ex. ability to detect changes outside NetBeans so far had been a bit of a mystery, ability to refactor inline css codes to external such etc., is around the corner (eta early June 2010,  currently on beta status and beta is quite stable). As a last note about version 6.9, since the installation is made to version specific folders, if you want to give 6.9beta a run you can do so without interfering with your 6.8 setup.
-==Installation and initial configuration of NetBeans==
+==Installation==
 Prerequisite: to be able to install and run NetBeans you would need Java 6 or 5. If you don't have that installed, download it from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp.
 # Download NetBeans (http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html) and make sure to download the PHP version. The installation is straight forward and amounts to clicking through the installation wizard which defaults to correct and workable values.
 # Your first run after installation will install the auto-update plugin. Please do restart after installing the plugin.
 # Your second run will find a number of updates which you are advised to install.

 ## Checking out the trunk can take some minutes to finish and you will see the task status on the right side of the status bar.
 # Now that the joomla code base is checked out its time to install Joomla!. In order to run Joomla! the installation folder needs to be removed or at least renamed. Now this creates a catch-22 as deleting the folder or changing it will result in being considered as actual change for which patch will be generated, and if we don't change it we can't run Joomla!. The solution here is to make NetBeans ignore the installation folder from here and on. Unfortunately NetBeans doesn't allow us to ignore files that are already in the svn repository. /If you know of a better way than using external tools such as Tortoise SVN for this purpose please edit and put it here/

 ## Project Name - give hellonb
 ## Sources Folder - where the files created within the project will be located. Although NetBeans makes an attempt to locate the server DocumentRoot, it normally fails and defaults to Apaches default htdocs, which means if you have reconfigured DocumentRoot in your httpd.conf it will not be able to point it out for you, and you will need to point out the location manually as follows. Go to your DocumentRoot folder by choosing Browse and in your DocumentRoot folder create the project folder hellonb, select the folder and click Open.
-## Put NetBeans metadata into a separate directory - NetBeans creates a folder named nbproject containing project specific IDE settings and metadata of the project to be created. If you are working with a project in which you are about to checkout from svn, as we will see below, having this folder in your project folder is not a desired option as it eventually will be included in your export. One way of not having nbproject in such exports is to relocate nbproject from its default location, the project folder. This is done by simply checking this checkbox and pointing out where the nbproject folder should be located, outside your project folder.
