About NetBeans IDE

NetBeans IDE began as a student project in the Czech Republic around November 2001. If you’re ready to dive into modern web-tier development, our step-by-step guide shows how to assemble a complete JSF and Facelets application right inside NetBeans. Building a Java EE Application with JSF and Facelets in NetBeans Sun Microsystems later acquired it as its first sponsored open-source project, and it was managed by netbeans.org. The IDE ran on Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Solaris, was open-source and free, and supported cross-platform Java desktop, enterprise, and web applications. Features included a profiler, mobility pack, and C/C++ development pack.
