I am using Liferay Developer Studio for theme development and as a frontend developer, I am not impress with the tool's performance.
Below are few reasons I am looking for alternative IDE, compatible for Liferay development.
It occupies more than 75% of the memory
It slower down the whole system
I cannot use chat application while running IDE as to switch from one app to another takes irrelevant time
I use to build theme through CLI. Sometime I need to close the IDE or else it gives runtime error and doesn't build the theme.
I am sure there are many others too faced same issues, which actually makes the development slower. This question is not against the Liferay of course, it's a great enterprise level CMS tool. But yes looking for alternate IDE with best compatibility for the purpose.
Thanks in advance.
You can use Gulp and Yo to generate, build and deploy your theme or layout , and you can use Notepad ++ as editor.
Please refere to those links :
1 - LIFERAY theme generator
2 - Gulp Tasks
You can use any IDE you want. The only one difference between LiferayIDE and others IDEs is you can avoid using BladeCLI by hands.
And nothing can stop you to use another IDE, build you project with maven or gradle and then continue to develop.
If you are a front-end developer you really should use Gulp and Yo. First time you'll feel yourself confused a bit, but after short period of time you'll understand all benefits.

I really miss the newer functions of a modern Eclipse implementation. Things like cool plugins such as Checkstyle, auto-javadoc, ease of JUnit testing.
I always did this whilst developing Notes Java Agents, and it was a great time saver.
I'm trying to do this with my new XPages project but I'm stumbling on how to include diverse OSGI libraries.
Can anyone help?
The quickest way to set up an Eclipse environment for XPages development is the XPages SDK. That should point to your Notes/Domino installations and create the Target Platform stuff for you. If you have additional libraries, you can either install them into Eclipse via the Help -> Install New Software option or add them to the Target Platform in Preferences -> Plug-in Development -> Target Platform.
There's a huge caveat, though: this sort of XPages development refers to library development specifically, not writing XPages applications. There isn't really currently a good way to do actual-XPages dev in Eclipse without losing tooling.
In addition to Jesse's answer: a colleague uses Eclipse only to develop in our XPages stuff - for the Java part only. We all use a local on-disk-version of the project that can be imported into Eclipse workspace. You then can use the editors and benefits of current Eclipse versions. Caveat also: you always have to refresh/sync the sources from your on-disk-project in DDE to test. Regarding JUnit tests: we also use them and doing even automated build-tests on a Jenskins server with that method

I am going to start building project in node.js (was working in PHP before), What is the IDE, Debugger and Helping Tools for node.js, to help improvement while coding ?
There are several IDEs which support Node.js natively:
Desktop-based IDEs
WebStorm - popular and extremely powerful IDE for coding web applications. $100 for commercial license, $50 personal, $25 academic, free for open source developers upon application approval. Can also debug Meteor.JS applications.
Komodo IDE
Cloud9 Local - You can install a local copy of cloud9 on desktop as well and work on a local directory as workspace, follow the instructions on github page. Be sure to disable incompatible plug-ins from config. It provides proper debugging as well.
Cloud-based IDEs
Cloud9 IDE - cloud-based IDE with native support for development of Node.js applications including debugging and other features.
Koding Koding offers you a free rootable VM with Node. Also you can work on the same code with your friends.
Other than these two you can use almost any code editor/IDE which simplifies JavaScript based development in general (for example with syntax highlighting, autocompletion or similar stuff) and use node with its built-in V8 debugger.
Microsoft just launch a cross platform IDE "Visual Studio Code" in Windows, Ubuntu and MacOSX. It could debug node.js. Check detail here.
Koding is another good choice. It comes preinstalled with Node.js, Vim and Emacs, has a great community of developers, among many other things. Another few notable features are:
Free virtual machine (VM) with Ubuntu, root access, apt-get, and many commonly used tools
Built-in Terminal with 256-color support
All languages, databases, and command-line tools are supported
Various file upload options such as Drag & Drop, Dropbox, Clone from Github, FTP and the ability to access them using SSH
Real-time code and terminal collaboration with integrated chat abilities
Visual Studio now supports full dev lifecycle for Node.js if you install the Node.js tools, linked below.
Allows for full debugging, intellisense, color coding, and more.
https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/
vim and unix are your IDE.
If you want debugging then there is node debug foo.js or ndb or node-inspector or use the V8 Debugger.
Another option could be Netbeans with the NodeJS tools (even though I'm not using it anymore these days since I've been using JetBrains products now to be honest).
What it gives you:
A Node project type
Clickable stack traces in the output window
A run with node action on Javascript files (and of course, the project)
Integration with Node Package Manager (npm) and a slick little UI for adding libraries
GUI for editing package.json files, and generating their standard contents
Ability to store machine-specific command-line arguments (excluded from version control if you use NetBeans' version control).
Ability to download Node's sources so the highlighted stack traces point somewhere
http://timboudreau.com/blog/read/NetBeans_Tools_for_Node_js
Also NetBeans 8.1 and 8.2 seem to have brought some features for Node.js developers (see here and here).
Eclipse is a good IDE for JavaScript.
This page https://portawiki.abnoctus.com/view/NodeIDE.html
details mixing eclipseJS with the google v8 debugger and a few node specific plugins
http://code.abnoctus.com/publish/binaries/node-launcher/
To build an IDE with support for editing JS with syntax highlights and some degree of code completion, executing node from the IDE, debugging in the IDE, unit testing with nodeunit and fetching dependencies via NPM.
I've tested several IDE's to develop and run node apps. But I'm feeling very confortable with Microsoft WebMatrix 2.0. It's a nice lightweight and free IDE that you can run Node. There's some templates for Express framework to get started. And you can run nodejs processes through IIS Express.
Nodeclipse has chromedevtools fixed for Node.js debugging.
Enide Studio 2014 comes with Nodeclipse, JSHint-eclipse, AngularJS and more plugins
(source: nodeclipse.org)

Personally, I'm partial to Cloud9's IDE though they've had a few issues lately with various upgrades, and the growing pains of online systems can be an issue.
WebStorm 4 is another option, though I haven't tried it, I did try the plugin in WS3, which wasn't too bad.
From Microsoft (of all places) there's WebMatrix 2 from Microsoft that seems to support Node.JS pretty well. I have discovered that you can actually edit node based js files within the Visual Studio 2012 beta and get intellisense/autocomplete for node scripts probably from webmatrix's developments. I've been using node as a build step for CSS/JS processing, and it's been working well for me.
Aptana Studio and others seem to be scrambling to add proper node support. Right now options are relatively limited, but getting better.
What framework are you using for the frontend? If you're already familiar with Node, you might as well try the open-source and increasingly popular Meteor.JS framework. Check out MeteorPad for literally a one-click IDE for Meteor apps.
You get a virtual machine with MongoDB on it and the Meteor server. A sample project is already loaded, and you can edit the server and client HTML, JS and CSS files. The resulting app runs in the right pane. Makes playing with Meteor super, super easy.
Node is a relatively new project so there is not widespread IDE support yet. However there actually is an online IDE called Cloud9 IDE that you might want to check out. Otherwise I suggest you use a local editor such as vim or emacs.
See how-to-debug-node-js-applications for more information on debugging.
GitHub's programmable text editor Atom has node.js integration.
Try Microsoft's https://code.visualstudio.com. Its awesome.
Facebook's Nuclide has a number of IDE-esque features including dynamic typechecking (via flow), in-code linking, auto complete, etc. It's based on GitHub's Atom so you can pick and choose Nuclide packages as you see fit.
WebStorm 3.0 does all this stuff.
It auto completes in a smart way, includes nice debugging and unit testing. It also include number of inspection for javascript, which is also pleasant.
Now RC version is available, but JetBrains assure that it'll be released soon.
I use IntelliJ's Webstorm: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm for it's advance auto-complete features and Node.js/NodeUnit templates.
I started using Linux for PHP web development. What is a helpful toolset to use for web development (mostly PHP) available for the Linux platform. My Current IDE is netbeans and I am happy with it.
In no particular order, my perfect environment consists of:
vim - text editing
git - version control
screen - terminal management
This is all you really need to build a great app in any language, for that matter (baseline). Every language has its specifics, but the above will more than get you started.
The PDT project provides a PHP
Development Tools framework for the
Eclipse platform. This project
encompasses all development components
necessary to develop PHP and
facilitate extensibility. It leverages
the existing Web Tools Platform (WTP)
and Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK)
in providing developers with PHP
capabilities.
You can have a try for eclipse.
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/
Another one not mentioned in this thread (suitable for PHP and a lot of other dynamic languages):
Komodo Edit (free version of the Komodo IDE)
I really like using Netbeans and SqlSquirrel. Both of these tools are written in Java and they are cross platform compatible. Also an odd note about SqlSquirrel: It uses the Netbeans editor. Also, if you like there are many tutorials and articles on using PHP with Netbeans on their site. Overall, go with the toolset that you like the most. There isn't a single toolset that works with everyone, and for all problems.
I like Eclipse PDT, and it can be used both on Windows (which I use at work) and on Linux (which I use at home).
Features are quite the same as netbeans, I'd say ; especially, you've got nice stuff like graphical debugging, when used with Xdebug.
I'd say that, these days, when it comes to a modern full-IDE for PHP, that works on Linux, and is free, there are two choices : netbeans and Eclipse PDT. Which one you prefer is generally a matter of taste, as far as I can tell.
If you're happy with NetBeans, stick to that as you IDE. Learn to use Vim or emacs just for common knowledge. Use version control, Subversion and git are good choices.
The power of linux is in the command line. Whatever you do outside the IDE, learn to do it with command line. After a while you'll be comfortable with it and you'll discover that there's bunch of stuff you never want to do with GUIs anymore :)
Resharper includes various analysis rules which can be run on your solution from inside Visual Studio but is it possible to run these from say the commandline or as part of your autobuild? Resharper seems to be focused on running in Visual Studio but can it be invoked on solution or project files from outside the IDE?
UPDATE: Seems like TeamCity 7.0 EAP includes a way to execute the code-analysis while building
(blog post) so at least it can somehow be invoked and utilized as part of a CI process.
No, this feature is not currently offered by ReSharper. There is a thread on the JetBrains website related to this question and it can be found here.
Here's a quote:
Currently ReSharper has no interface
from running in a standalone batch
application. However, it is possible
to write such an application that
provides the functionality you're
looking for using ReSharper OpenAPI.
So apparently you could use the ReSharper OpenAPI to create the functionality you want; unfortunately, I haven't had any experience in using it so I'm not much help there.
Some links of interest...
ReSharper OpenAPI Developer Community
ReSharper public API and sample source code (aka. ReSharper PowerToys)
I think you want the functionality provided by fxCop. I am not aware of Resharper functioning outside of Visual Studio.
Looks like they're listening! First version available as a 30-day demo now: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2013/03/resharper-code-analysis-goes-beyond-visual-studio/
If you're looking for compliance of code to standards, take a look at StyleCop. You can tie it into msbuild and run the rules outside of the IDE.
No, it can not be run from commandline. I still hope that they add this feature since I requested it last october :)
I've never developed Flash before but I have a project where I want to use an ActionScript 3 library and I'm not sure what tools I need to start. To further complicate things my main development box is an Ubuntu box. Are there any necessary packages I need to install? Or any .deb's I can buy?
A Windows or Mac box. :-)
just kidding, actually you can use the Flex 3 SDK mentioned above and compile using the CLI. If these AS3 Libraries are indeed Flex libraries (sometimes there are discrepancies between what works in Flex, what works in CS3, and what works in both) then you should be able to import them and use them.
Also, I've never tried it myself, but Flex Builder is based on Eclipse and I believe there's a way to configure Eclipse to compile with the opensource Flex compile if you'd rather work in a graphical IDE.
I have written a blog entry on how to setup Eclipse + AXDT + Flex SDK to prepare your mxml/actionscript (as3) development environment on Linux. If you are interested, you can have a look here:
http://netpatia.blogspot.com/2009/09/flash-development-on-linux.html
It looks like the Flex 3 sdk (http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/flexdownloads/index.html) is a good place to start. Any other suggestions?
I've had very good experiences with Sprouts. It is a ruby wrapper for the Flex SDK that allows building with Rake and easily hooks into continuous integration engines.
http://www.projectsprouts.com/
I've been using Flex Builder Linux recently and can recommend it. It's straightforward to get going and, for an alpha, is stable and has all the features you could want.
JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA (not free)
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/flex_ide.html
JetBrains Astella (free but beta)
http://blog.jetbrains.com/astella/
http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/AS/Astella+EAP
Project Sprouts is probably going to be the quickest way to get up and running with ActionScript or Flex development on any operating system, but especially on Linux.
You'll need to install Ruby and RubyGems, other than that, it's a couple of terminal commands and you should have an application building and displaying.
You should be able to build ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, AIR or Flex Projects without any manual system configuration at all. Because Sprouts is inherently a CLI application, you can use any development environment you prefer and initiate your builds with simple commands like:
Compile and run debug build
rake debug
Compile and run test harness
rake test
Compile an optimized build for deployment
rake deploy
Compile your application as a library
rake swc
Generate documentation for your application
rake doc
Of course you can easily create or customize your build scripts using Rake, an amazingly simple and flexible build script engine.
Like Rails, Sprouts also comes standard with code generators that automatically create classes, test cases, test suites and even MXML components.
Unlike many open-source projects, Sprouts includes some pretty extensive and detailed documentation.
Let us know what you think.
http://projectsprouts.org
You could try Haxe. It isn't really ActionScript but it is very similar (and you could also compile to the server side or JavaScript).
While FlexBuilder is good, it lacks many of the features that Powerflasher includes in FDT (Flash Developer Tools) for Eclipse. FlexBuilder is missing things like Templates, better formatting, auto-fixing of warnings and errors. It runs on Eclipse making it cross platform, but be warned that they do not test in a linux environment (however people have had no significant complaints).
See all the features here: http://solutions.powerflasher.com/index.php?id=136#feature_03
I use the Flex SDK, Emacs (Sub your editor of choice) and Ant as my build tool. I blogged about how to get everything set up here:
http://blog.apterainc.com/software/setting-up-a-flex-development-enviroment-in-gnulinux/
Adobe has an free alpha release of FlexBuilder for Linux, I thought it was quite unstable when editing MXML files, but if your doing strict actionscript work, you may find it useful. you can get that here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
You might like to have a look at MTASC
http://www.mtasc.org/
An open source action script compiler. I've been meaning to get around to looking at it but not had the chance yet. Heard great things about it tho.
Hopefully when I do get around to it and have questions you'll be around to answer them
