Would be nice to have a new option in Project Properties to setup/manage Composer dependencies. One optional feature is to enable/disable Composer support for the project. If it's enabled Netbeans should parse composer.json file and provide a UI to see/manage/update the dependencies. If I already have composer.json file I should be able to either have Netbeans find it or configure it somehow. I would love to see which packages are currently used/installed by the Project.
One can add Composer dependencies even now but yes, we plan to improve our existing Composer support in next NetBeans versions. Thanks for reporting.
This is not a bug.
