I want to get into Erlang programming, specifically some yaws stuff. (Currently, I use Eclipse for Java development.)
What is the IDE of choice for Erlang development?
While there are several choices of plugins for NetBeans or Eclipse, the officially recommended IDE is Erlang mode for Emacs
Eclipse does the job just fine for me with the Erlang plugin. If you are already familiar with that through Java development why not simply stick with that?
I have also used JEdit and it performs pretty well.
Both are pretty good at syntax highlighting and have templates for new modules (OTP etc.).
Although I agree that Emacs is the "official" editor of choice you don't have to use it (and learn a whole new editing approach) if you don't want to.
Emacs is the IDE of choice. It supports Distel which plugs your editor into a cluster of Erlang Virtual Machines as an Erlang node in its own right (maaan!).
If you are a new emacs user, I think emacs can really kill you :(
I try erlide(buggy for jump to defination, other is good) emacs-erlang mode(really hard for me), I finally choose sublime text2 for daily development. I suggest you can try it.
i install the following plugins:
package control
sublime-erlang
sublimerl
ctags
that's as good as I expected.
Look for this one:
IntelliJ IDEA + Erlang plugin
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7083-erlang/
If you use Eclipse already, Erlide works nicely. I do think that Emacs with erlware-mode is better, but the learning curve may be a bit steep.

I am in the market for a new IDE but am confused about the overlap between some of Jetbrains' offerings. It looks like IntelliJ IDEA has plugins that allow you to do Node.js and php development.
Can IntelliJ IDEA do everything that WebStorm and PHPStorm do through plugins or do they have special features not available in IDEA? I am hoping to have a single polyglot IDE for all development.
All of the functionality of our lightweight IDEs can be found within IntelliJ IDEA (you need to install the corresponding plug-ins from the repository).
It includes support for all technologies developed for our more specific products such as Web/PhpStorm, RubyMine and PyCharm.
The specific feature missing from IntelliJ IDEA is simplified project creation ("Open Directory") used in lighter products as it is not applicable to the IDE that support such a wide range of languages and technologies. It also means that you can't create projects directly from the remote hosts in IDEA.
If you are missing any other feature that is available in lighter products, but is not available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, you are welcome to report it and we'll consider adding it.
While PHP, Python and Ruby IDEA plug-ins are built from the same source code as used in PhpStorm, PyCharm and RubyMine, product release cycles are not synchronized. It means that some features may be already available in the lighter products, but not available in IDEA plug-ins at certain periods, they are added with the plug-in and IDEA updates later.
But here's the rub, sometimes you can't or don't want to wait. For example I want to use the new support for RubyMotion which includes RubyMotion project structure support, setup of rake files, setup of configurations that are hooked to iOS Simulator etc.
RubyMine has all of these now, IDEA does not. So I would have to generate a RubyMotion project outside of IDEA, then setup an IDEA project and hook up to that source folder etc and God knows what else.
What JetBrains should do is have a licensing model that would allow me, with the purchase of IDEA to use any of other IDEs, as opposed to just relying on IDEAs plugins.
I would be willing to pay more for that i.e. say 50 bucks more for said flexibility.
The funny thing is, I was originally a RubyMine customer that upgraded to IDEA, because I did want that polyglot setup. Now I'm contemplating paying for the upgrade of RubyMine, just because I need to do RubyMotion now. Also there are other potential areas where this out of sync issue might bite me again . For example torque box workflow / deployment support.
JetBrains has good IDEs but I guess I'm a bit annoyed.
I regularly use IntelliJ, PHPStorm and WebStorm. Would love to only use IntelliJ. As pointed out by the vendor the "Open Directory" functionality not being in IntelliJ is painful.
Now for the rub part; I have tried using IntelliJ as my single IDE and have found performance to be terrible compared to the lighter weight versions. Intellisense is almost useless in IntelliJ compared to WebStorm.
IntelliJ IDEA vs WebStorm features
IntelliJ IDEA remains JetBrains' flagship product and IntelliJ IDEA provides full JavaScript support along with all other features of WebStorm via bundled or downloadable plugins. The only thing missing is the simplified project setup.
Taken from : https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/WebStorm+FAQ#WebStormFAQ-IntelliJIDEAvsWebStormfeatures
Definitely a great question.
I've noted this also as a sub question of the choice for versions within IDEa
that this link may help to address...
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html
it as well potentially possesses a ground work for looking at your other IDE choices and the options they provide.
I'm thinking WebStorm is best for JavaScript and Git repo management, meaning the HTML5 CSS Cordova kinds of stacks, which is really where (I believe along with others) the future lies and energies should be focused now... but ya it depends on your needs, etc.
Anyway this tells that story too...

Currently running Arch Linux, I decided to install Aircrack-ng and try it out on my own wireless network. So I installed it, and I get an error upon Aireplay that states something along the lines of
Either patch this, or use the flag --ignore-negative-one
So I used the flag at first. It seems to work, but I can't get a handshake. This might just be me, but I wasn't sure. So I decided to find that patch. I went to Aircrack's website and found it. I followed the instructions and it was fine up until "make". At that point, it outputted:
config.mk:199: "WARNING: CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT will be deactivated or not working because kernel was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface like iwconfig will not work. To activate it build your kernel e.g. with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m."
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/build M=/home/kyle/Desktop/compat-wireless-2011-05-16 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** modules Error 2
What can I do to fix this so I can use Aircrack?
uname -r outputs "2.6.38-ARCH" (without quotes).
Assuming you are using the default arch linux kernel (i.e. not a patched one, or one that you've compiled yourself), this would appear to be a bug in the aircrack package, so I would suggest you report it here.
I don't know much about aircrack, but based on the error report I think that there are two ways you may be able to fix it yourself.
It looks like CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is a configure option in the patch which you may be able to disable. However, this might remove important functionality.
You could try to compile your kernel with CONFIG_LIBIPW=m, as suggested. This is not as difficult as it sounds, but it does mean that you will need to maintain the kernel yourself instead of relying on pacman to do it for you. For a guide on this, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernels and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernels/Compilation/Arch_Build_System.
Doesn't aircrack require that you have patched drivers for your network card? Have you confirmed that your card has a chipset that is usable ?
It seems that you are using the Wireless Drivers 'compat-wireless-2011-05-16', I would check that these arew suited to your Wireless Card. You may require MadWiFi Drivers depending. What is your Wireless Card Make/Model?

I'm a little bit confused about these two terms, can somebody explain what is the difference, for example Eclipse is an example of IDE, there I can edit, debug, compile my program, but the same things I can do with SDK, am I wrong? thanks in advance
An SDK usually only includes the necessary building blocks for developing applications. This includes frameworks, libraries, header files, whatever as well as compilers, debuggers, and various other tools, such as profilers, etc.
An IDE simply makes access to those more user-friendly (or integrated, hence the name), if you will. However, Eclipse for example comes with its own compiler as well.
In any case, an IDE allows you to develop applications from a single environment, be that Emacs, Visual Studio or Eclipse. If you only have an SDK you'd write programs with a text editor, compile them with the compiler (instead of hitting F\d+), debug with the debugger which often has an awkward text interface, &c.
SDK = Software Development Kit... the tools that do the tasks you mentioned above. IDE = Integrated Development Environment... A GUI for accessing the SDK tools and then some (features differ).
A SDK has DLL libraries, compilers, and other tools to compile source code into an executable program (or intermediate byte code to run on JVM or .NET). You can write the source code in any text editor and build your program from all your text files using an SDK.
An IDE integrates all those SDK features, including the compiler, into GUI menus to make it easier to access all those features and easier to develop software. It creates build scripts for you to make managing your project easier and much more. My favorite, it allows you to debug by stepping through code line by line.
Visual Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans are examples of IDEs. .NET Framework 4.0 and Swing Application Framework are examples of SDKs.

I've been on a frustrating quest to find an IDE which provides reasonable support for Grails 1.1 development. My minimum requirements are:
Supports running tests within the IDE
Supports debugging within the IDE while running either the tests or the app itself
Provides code-completion, including dynamic finders added to domain classes
Here's a rundown of my experience so far
Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede)
Using the latest plugins available from the update site, Eclipse's support for Groovy/Grails is truly pathetic. It provides little more than code completion and spurious errors
NetBeans 6.7 Beta
As soon as I imported the project, NetBeans began scanning it. The Navigator view was waiting for the scanning to finish before showing it's contents. About 20 minutes later, both the Navigator view and I were still waiting. Also, support for code completion on dynamic finders is poor, and for some reason it copied all the plugins into $PROJECT_ROOT/web-app/plugins.
IntelliJ 8.1.2
Although the general consensus is that IntelliJ is the best IDE for Groovy/Grails, it does not work well with Grails 1.1.X. The root cause of the problem appears to be the change in the location of the plugins folder. IntelliJ is unable to build the app because it can't find classes I'm importing from plugins, even though those plugins are listed in application.properties
So my question (finally) is whether anyone has found an IDE (not TextMate or Vim) that works with Grails 1.1.X when the plugin folder is in it's default location, i.e. under $HOME/.grails/1.1.X/plugins?
If so, I'd be really grateful for information about:
Which IDE to use (including version number)
Which plugins (if any) need to be installed
How to import an existing project into the IDE
How to run the app, the tests, and debug from within the IDE (if it's not obvious)
Thanks,
Don
NetBeans 6.7 now with Grail 1.1 support
I'm unclear on which version of IntelliJ IDEA the author of that blog post tested, tha didn't work with Grails 1.1.1.
Idea 8.1.2 works very well for me on OSX with Grails 1.1 and 1.1.1. Grails is installed under /Developer/grails-1.1.1 (with a symlink at /Developer/grails ), and the plugins are in the ~/.grails/1.1.1/plugins directory.
I didn't have to install any extra Idea plugins. What I did have to do was tell it where the plugins were, and install the missing ones once I had upgraded to 1.1.1. IDEA's grails integration can even recognize the plugins from the Grails repository and install them from the IDE.
NetBeans 6.7 RC3 works much better with Grails 1.1.1 than the versions before. Debugging only works in attached mode, i.e. you start your application from the command line (grails-debug run-app) and then attach the Netbeans Debugger (port 5005). My experience is that the watches do not show the correct values of the running process. Automatic code formatting is horrible.
IntelliJ 8.1.3 worked good for me with Grails 1.1. Debugging was working correctly (most of the time, from time to time, the status of the debugger does not match the actual process' status) and code formatting is quite good. After I switched to Grails 1.1.1 IntelliJ refuses to start my app ("error running MyApp: Grails are not configured") although grails is installed and GRAILS_HOME is set correctly. The trick is to change the facet in the module settings of your project. There you have to configure the location of your grails 1.1.1 installation. Then IntelliJ crashed while starting your app and you have to do the configuration again . With a little bit of luck it works then and everything is fine.
I've spend a lot of time with these issues in the last days and I am quite angry about that. Therefore I'd like to recommend to go away from grails and to use ruby on rails with NetBeans 6.7 instead. Then you can start to focus on your business, not on configuration and installation issues. If you really need to stick with grails, use IntelliJ and pay for it. It's worth it. Do not even think about using Eclipse, if you do not want to go crazy.
I've been playing around with the version 9 milestone 1 release of IntelliJ and so far have not had any problems working with grails apps.
One thing i did notice was that the project explorer doesn't always refresh properly when files are added via an automated process. sometimes i have to close and re-open the project to see the new files, but that could just be a beta issue in general and not related to the grails support.
They've added a lot of Groovy and Grails support to the latest version of the Spring Source Tool Suite. It doesn't ship with these plugins by default, but there are options to install them as extensions from the dashboard page.
Some of the nice features include the ability to run grails commands in the IDE and support for editing GSPs. The Groovy language support has gotten much better too with the latest release of the plugin. You can read more about that here.
The Spring Tools Suite is also an excellent choice for grails/groovy development. I use it and do not have any cause for regret.
I've been using Netbeans 6.7 for some time and it's very slow, the code completion rarely works. Basically I'm using it as an editor and to format my code.
I used the EAP version of IDEA 8.1 and it was really nice - very easy to setup and develop in compared to the other IDEs. Sorry I don't remember exactly how to import an existing project but it was fairly straight forward.
If cost is not an issue, then IDEA would probably be the best choice.
I use STS (SpringSource Toolkit), I like it better than Intellij or Netbeans. I am using 2.3.3.M2

After, reading and understanding Dan Benjamin's post about installing Ruby, Rails, etc. on OSX (Leopard), I really jumped at using usr/local, maybe at my peril and without understanding it fully. I've had no problem running Rails on my local machine, but I still feel like I don't quite wrap my head around these basic sysadmin practices.
As an example, when I run which git the path my git installation is running from is /usr/local/git/bin/git -- does that seem right?
I've learned the bulk of my programming thanks to JavaScript, and I haven't really had to go deeply under the hood of the Mac, but I'm very anxious to use these command line tools and scripts.
Can you recommend a good resource for documentation on basic Unix system administration for beginners (preferably for the Mac-set)?
I realize this might not be totally programming related, but I believe basic shell and command-line scripting knowledge is pretty crucial and I'd like to feel confident moving forward.
For improving your basic shell and command-line scripting knowledge, you don't need to get into sysadmin tasks. The nearest source of information (though not the most friendly at first) is the man command. Try man bash or man intro. Start by writing small shell script utilities.
About your question on git installation, you can install anything anywhere. But recommended directories are /usr/local/bin and /opt/bin for system-wide tools and ~/bin for your private tools. Usually tools create their own subdirectory in recommended directories where they put doc and resources, such as your /usr/local/git.
For online resources, I assume that you already know how to find the Apple web site and how to use Google.
