This isn't directed at you, but this is exactly the reason why I usually recommend beginners
not to use an
IDE for anything other than editing. In fact, that's exactly what I use my IDE for. IDEs provide a lot of features which are good if you understand the real details of the technologies you are using. Otherwise you'll just rely on the IDE magic without understanding the underlying technology of your application.
