title: PHP Type Hinting for a map (associative array) in NetBeans?
body: <p>I'm trying to get advantage of NetBeans' intelligent way of handling object types, so I'm hinting to every object's type in comments.</p>
  
  <p>Problem is, I want to hint to an associative array of (string => ObjectClass).</p>
  
  <p>I've tried all the followings but nothing worked :</p>
  
  <pre><code>/** 
   * @var [string =&gt; ObjectClass]
   */
  private $myAssociativeArray;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And</p>
  
  <pre><code>/** 
   * @var string|ObjectClass[]
   */
  private $myAssociativeArray;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get NetBeans to know that I'm hinting about a map of string to ObjectClass ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
