Can someone PLEASE explain step-by-step how I can start using codelobster for developing joomla extensions.
I want to be able to:
test my code locally in xampp, so that I can see the changes real time in joomla
store my PROJECT code on a separate drive ( like flash or backup drive ) (.i.e. SOURCE is embedded? in Joomla but exists separately as well )
store my "sources" on my jforge project area as svn
have version control so that when i save the files it will automatically update the file header information showing these changes.
be able to produce a patch, and "package" with simply a few keystrokes.
would be nice to have a changelog
code completion so that codelobster can help me learn what i'm doing wrong.
I hope I'm not asking for too much but I'm totally lost. I tried to follow
http://docs.joomla.org/Setting_up_your_workstation_for_extension_development but got lost @ the 2nd part where it talks about using phing to build because the command to build does not exist in the newer eclipse AND cause it only covers part of what i'm trying to find out.
