Introduction


The NetBeans IDE is a free, open source, Java-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is used the world over to develop Java, PHP, C/C++, HTML, and other applications.

One of the first tasks when using NetBeans is to create projects or libraries or import projects from Eclipse. In this chapter, we will discuss how to create different types of projects based on different build tools (NetBeans, Maven, and Ant), how to create class libraries, and how to import both existing Eclipse and Maven projects.

To follow the recipes in this chapter, you can use any of the Java NetBeans download bundles (Java SE, Java EE, and All). All of these NetBeans versions can be downloaded from https://netbeans.org/downloads/.
