does netbeans include phpdocumentator so you can comment your code?
is there some guide on how to use it, eg. how should i comment, how to read them and how to print them out?

i tested to comment a method in netbeans using the phpdoc comments and then i tried using the method with $object->run() and it displayed the comments according to phpdoc way (included the @comments) so that means phpdoc is included in netbeans?

Perhaps the similarity of phpdoc to javadoc syntax means that netbeans is confused and thinks that they are the same.

I think the actual PHPDocumentor tool can be installed from PEAR. I doubt it would be included with Netbeans. I imagine Netbeans provides a way to make use of that facility once installed.

it would be nice if sun included it in netbeans. why dont they? this seems like a default feature a major IDE should have out of the box.

A:
The IDE's ability to interpret your docblocks is built in to NetBeans and Eclipse, and probably other IDEs. That's not phpDocumentor working for you (but close I suppose).
Having phpDocumentor installed would mean having the ability to generate API docs from your code and its docblocks.
