About NetBeans IDE

NetBeans IDE began as a student project in the Czech Republic around November 2001. Check out our latest guide on How to Set Up a NetBeans Project with Gradle Build System, which walks you through the process of integrating Gradle into your NetBeans projects for a more flexible build system. 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.
