I've been using NetBeans lately for a PHP project and the IDE has been quite good, until yesterday. For some reason NetBeans scanned the project continuously and I couldn't just kill the process from within the IDE, as it refused to shutdown. Upon a restart of NB the problem prevailed.

I solved the problem by removing two NetBeans directories. Start with shutting down NB, then run:

cd ~/.netbeans/6.9/var/
rm -r filehistory
rm -r cache

Now start NB again. Intially it will scan the project once to regenerate the cache. After that NB was good to go.
