This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
User selects packages from UI and project is created with these packages. Typical usage is creating sanboxes for some frameworks (package nette/sandbox, etc.).
This should allow creation of projects through Composer (PHPStorm actually has a composer type Project). Composer has an awesome feature of being able to create/generate sample projects based on parameters passed on the command-line. This would extend the starting base for projects created using NetBeans as well as create an extensible feature of being able to easily add new "projects" based on supported composer packages. Some examples: php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition /path/to/webroot/Symfony 2.3.0 composer create-project laravel/laravel composer create-project silverstripe/installer ./my/website/folder
This is done as a new step in the New Project wizard, will be available after NB 7.4. @gena01: Please, submit another enhancement for it, it is something different. Thanks.
