I'm looking for a good SVN plugin for Adobe Flash Builder 4 that is NOT subclipse, since I am currently working with subclipse on my setup and it is quite terrible in every way.
Any and all help is appreciated.
I think subclipse is good, if you donot like it, Maybe you can find more plugin here:

For me, Eclipse is the IDE to work with when I like to develop a Java application. But I like Swing more than SWT, so I'd like to use the Netbeans Platform for my Application.
Is it possible to develop a Netbeans Platform application in Eclipse? Where can I find information about this?
You are setting out on a great endeavour, and I want to congratulate you on your decision.
With me it is just the same. I love working with MyEclipse and Pulse. To me the Eclispe JDT are still superior to what the NetBeans IDE Editor offers - though I really have to say that the NetBeans Development Team is doing well on catching up ...
Ok, I was just reminded that this is only about questions and answers, so here is the answer:
!!! YES !!! you can develop with Eclipse for NetBeans Platform !!! BUT !!! it will be painful. Using Maven can help - but you will still forfeit all the wirzards available from within NetBeans IDE eventually finding yourself writing a lot of code which could have been generated for you.
In order to stop messing up the Q&A paradigm of this site I would love to refer you the following link on Geertjan's Blog:

I frequently revisit this entry to see if there are any new thoughts. Feel free to post there. As far as I can tell this is the best information around at the moment.

How do I get smarty syntax highlighting in Eclipse PDT?
The only project I was able to find is SmartyPDT, but it's outdated and isn't working with my current Eclipse install (PDT All in one, with Eclipse 3.5).
EDIT:
I recently found this post asking the same question from a long time ago. But the plugin linked in the accepted answer there is out of date now.
EDIT: removed "(no accepted answer)" from title. it was misleading.
I've used both SmartyPDT and SSE*.
SmartyPDT is finicky and it took some time for me to get it working. Unfortunately, after an OS reinstall my custom jars don't work anymore, so I've been using SSE.
It is quite basic but better than nothing.
It is described in English at bar54.
Download it from Google's translated version.
Update:
Example of SSE http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/1c07de77d7.png
*I guess this is what it's called, the page is in Japanese.
About Using Aptana + Eclipse: They removed support for Smarty in Aptana Studio 2 because they were going to "join forces with the eclipse PDT team", but with "unknown schedule as to when or whether smarty support will come to pdt".
Anyways, they also offer to download the "old" Aptana Studio, which works for me like a charm, I wouldn't want to miss smarty support ever again:
https://aptanastudio.tenderapp.com/faqs/installing-aptana-studio/downloading-aptana-studio-151-and-aptana-php
It works in parallel with PDT2, cause for some reason the php support of Aptana is not so good in 1.5.1 - but the smarty support is cheesy :).
what does Aptana use? I think its Smarty enabled..and it integrates with Eclipse PDT and the other choice is Zend Studio which is built on top of Eclipse PDT
Great article about integration Eclipse Helios + PDT + Smarty

I use SmartyPDT, as suggested in this related question.
Just follow as strictly as possible the installation procedure. Worked for me without too much hassle.
I would like to make a new plugin for a programming language because there is not any IDE the time I asked this question. I think IDE developing is far more easier if I try to use one of the available platform like Netbeans or Eclipse or ...
As I checked, Eclipse plugin (if that plugin is not updated) won't be able to start up after 1 or 2 years. I mean, Eclipse develops a way that old plugins has to follow in order to hold the compatibility.
I can't answer your original question as I have not developed for Netbeans.
As the backwards compatibility, if the version dependencies are set right, and only the API from other plug-ins are used, the old plug-in should work (there are some exceptions, but in that case upgrading the plug-in does not take too much effort, as there is documentation about what has changed).
The main drawback in Eclipse development is that documentation is sometimes scarce, but for common tasks there is some available.
Sorry, I also can answer only 1/2 of your question.
I have developed (small) eclipse plugins and an eclipse RCP. Both were a breeze. I agree with #Zoltan's comment, get your dependencies right & don't use some back-door unsupported feature in aplugin you don't control & your problems should be minimal. Even if you did run into a dependency problem, the configuration is straightforward enough that you could make an updated release of your plugin very quickly.
While evaluating ICEfaces I have used Eclipse and its Web Page Editor to visually create a webpage using ICEfaces components. I have heard that Netbeans 6.5 provided a similar capability, but Netbeans 6.7 does not support a visual drag and drop. I was wondering if there is a plugin for Netbeans to enable this? Also to those who have experience with ICEfaces, what IDE do you prefer and why?
I was wondering if there is a plugin for Netbeans to enable this?
Netbeans used to ship previously with the Woodstock component library (which died January 2009 due to serious problems in the newer standards-compliant webbrowsers) and the corresponding visual editor with a "component palette". After it died, the users were recommended to migrate to ICEFaces. Tools were provided to convert existing Woodstock projects to ICEFaces projects (although I've read here and there that you can better convert/code it by hand yourself).
I was wondering if there is a plugin for Netbeans to enable this?
At their Tools Support section I see plugins/tools for both Eclipse and Netbeans.
Also to those who have experience with ICEfaces, what IDE do you prefer and why?
I don't have hands on experience with ICEFaces, but I have hands on experience with Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA. Both are excellent IDE's to program in. I've tried Netbeans for web development some years ago. But it bugged and didn't do what I asked/expected it to do, so I threw it away. Since then I've never touched it, but it may be have been improved lately. Just try some different IDEs yourself and conclude yourself. Own experience is always the best answer on those kind of subjective matters.
Note that I do not recommend drag'n'dropping code. It may initially speed up development, but you will end up swimming around disoriented in code soup when you're about to maintain/bugfix/enhance/reuse the code.
Subclipse, Subversive, or something else?
There's a bit of debate around the topic, can we come to some conclusion here?
EDIT:
It's been a couple months now, and I ended up deciding the plugin slowed Eclipse down too much, and was a hassle to use every time I changed a file from outside Eclipse.
I ditched the plugin all together and just went with TortiseSVN.
This depends. Subclipse has superior support for checking out projects as maven projects - this is the sole reason we use Subclipse. Other than that, I have noticed subclipse bugs with syncing with SVN.
Subversive is much better at detecting new files to add to version control, and is also far superior with merging code from a branch, or even syncing with SVN (fewer bugs, etc.). So really, you should ask yourself what value you want. If you're not using maven, I would definitely go for Subversive.
I've recently switched from subclipse to subversive. After upgrading our repository from v1.4.x to 1.5, we started having lots of issues with subclipse.
After doing a synch, you'd see updates that you had just accepted, and you wouldn't be able to take other updates without doing "hacks"
So far subversive is pretty nice. it even seems a little faster for lots of small files than subclipse was.
Personally i use subversive. It has better usability features, mainly intuitive keyboard shortcuts etc.
I have never had a problem using either though. It really is just a combination of personal preference and usage though, if you're using advanced complex features it might matter which one you choose, but if your just checking in, checking out and synchronizing they will both meet your needs.
I'm casting my vote for Subclipse. I've had better luck with it than Subversive personally.
subclipse is fully packed with features, I have never had an issue with it.
