Provide pre-configured development environments  
Written by lazenge the 19 Apr 09 at 22:31. New
It should be fine to provide, in APT/Synaptic, meta-packages related to development environments, like a "PHP developer" package, or a "Java developer" package, or Phyton and so on. It should be fine to have a pre-configured environment for each of these. IDEs, application servers and lamp server are still in the repository, but for a developer it's time-wasting to manually set-up the environment and make the tools work together

Solution #1: Provide many packets groups
Written by lazenge the 19 Apr 09 at 22:31.
Can be helpful to provide a

1) "PHP Environment" with Netbeans and Eclipse PDT or Aptana Studio fully configured to work with LAMP Server

2) "Java Environment" with Netbeans and Eclipse JEE fully configured to work with Jboss Application Server (or Glassfish) Tomcat and MySQL

and so on...

Solution #2: Create more howto wiki
Written by yanick.rochon the 9 May 09 at 06:56.
All the necessary packages are already provided, and only need to be installed and configured properly. Having community contributed wiki documents on "howto" install this and this (in this case, development environment) would have an impact on developers when choosing a working environment (that is, Ubuntu over other OS), and provide a community driven and proven installation guide that would benefit a lot of people.

In other words, have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPEclipse updated and perhaps add an Aptana installation guide (+ adding SVN/Git support, etc. etc.)
