Netbeans 6.9 support for HAML and SASS? - netbeans

It doesn't seem to be any HAML and SASS support in Netbeans 6.9.
Is there a way to add this support?
Thanks

I went to the NetBeans Plugin Portal and searched for HAML and found some results there: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginListPage.jsp?search=haml
This query produces many results that imply that there is support for HAML and SASS available:
http://www.google.com/search?q=haml+netbeans+support
If none of the projects that are available meet your needs, you may want to consider joining one of the open source HAML/SASS development support plugin projects and contributing coding/qa/documentation/whatever to the project.

There's an haml plugin that needs some teaks in order to change the default colors:

Somewhere in the project page there were once some comments regarding how to edit the color scheme by editing a certain file.

CSS property wizard in PHP project using NetBeans

Long time reader, first time asking a question.
Most of my development work has been in .NET using Visual Studio. Recently I took over maintenance of a website built on PHP and downloaded NetBeans as an IDE.
NetBeans has a very nice CSS property wizard for HTML projects that highlights the CSS rules in use for a particular element and lets you edit the rules directly. However, this doesn't appear to be available for PHP projects, even for pure HTML files within the project. Is that correct, or am I just missing some configuration? I can't seem to find any confirmation either way in the documentation or forums. (It would be unfortunate if it didn't work... it's a really useful feature.)
Thanks,
Terry
If you are referring to the visual CSS editing support that works with Google Chrome and the WebKit browser embedded in NetBeans, then this feature will be available for PHP projects in the upcoming NetBeans 7.4 release.

Hope this helps,

SCSS Support in Aptana 3.0.4 Eclipse Plugin?

Is there a full scss support in the apatana eclipse plugin 3.0.4?
The editor assigns the sass-editor, but there seems to be no coloring available. source format also don't make anything.
The basic SCSS support - syntax coloring, folding - is there in 3.0.4; if you see any issues around those areas, please file a ticket at http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD. Formatting and outline are not available yet. You could also add feature request for each specific feature at JIRA.
Hope this helps.

How can I get autocomplete for CSS3 properties on Eclipse (Helios)

Please note that I already have CSS autocomplete support active, I need the CSS3 properties and other proprietary properties for CSS like border-raduis, ::selection, -mozkit and -webkit properties.
You could install the Aptana Studio 3.0.3 plugin which has support for CSS3 properties. Aptana Ticket #1986 shows a way to enable matching for browser vendor specific extensions. Ticket #1495 is also relevant.
WARNING! I read on How do I add FTP support to Eclipse?, that the plugin could potentially overwrite or re-organise a lot of your Eclipse workspace. This is an older answer now, so the new version of plugin might be better. I wouldn't want my advice to break your Eclipse without warning you first :-)

Netbeans - How to extend HTML vocabulary

I've been using netbeans for a couple of years now, mainly on PHP / CakePHP projects.
Recently I've started using Coldfusion, which isn't directly supported. I've found, however, that if I use PHP as a project type, I can load the files and the HTML Renderer does an admirable job with the Coldfusion tags.
I want to make it better and help the renderer to understand some of the tags and, hopefully, thereby improve code indentation and syntax highlighting.
My question, then, is how can I access the HTML dictionary to extend the vocabulary?
NB: This isn't a 'which IDE' question so don't recommend them. I want to know if and how I can achieve this in NetBeans and only Netbeans.
Here are a few ideas. If you render it in HTML, you could probably add a custom name space to the HTML. If setup correctly it can help NetBeans realize that the tags are valid and shouldn't show as an error. It might not give you all the preview and WYSIWYG functionality, but it may be better than what you are getting now. I have only done this on other platforms, but I'm pretty sure NetBeans supports it.
Also I think that NetBeans will let you add CustomTags doing something like this:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/CustomTagActions
Just to note, in terms of ColdFusion the other alternatives are NotePad++ with the CF plugin and IntelliJ now supports CF.
I really like Eclipse - the number of plugins available (SVN, Javascript, CSS, CodCollab, Flashbuilder etc.) is what makes it indispensable IMHO.
I am, however, looking forward to the new version of CFBuilder.
This answer on the same/similar question suggests that there is nothing out there for ColdFusion on netbeans : NetBeans as an editor for ColdFusion scripts?
If you want to build your own ColdFusion plugin for netbeans you need to look at plugin development; http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/60/nbm-google.html You could use the Dictionary project from cfeclipse as a basis for your plugin. See this Google Group thread for a bit more information

Plugins issues in Netbeans 6.9

I used to work with the (nice) Javascript and Jquery plugins in Netbeans 6.8. But after the update, I've lost all my plugins (actually, I've lost all my settings too, nice job guys ...) and I'm unable to find the JS plugins again, even after checking all the sources, nor can I find the package on the net. Any idea ?
Extra question : How can I change the font in menus (not the code's font) ? Default font really hurts the retina.
Thanks
I might be wrong, but about the "font" question, try this:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/themes/themes.html
Perhaps the plugins you have used to work with are still not ported to 6.9 - you could try to find the plugins here: http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/updates and try to install them manually.
