NetBeans is an integrated development environment for Java. NetBeans allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called modules. NetBeans is free and open source, it runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris.

Features

Fast & Smart Editing

Apache NetBeans is much more than a text editor. It highlights source code syntactically and semantically, lets you easily refactor code, with a range of handy and powerful tools.

Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML5, CSS, and More

Apache NetBeans provides editors, wizards, and templates to help you create applications in Java, PHP and many other languages.

Cross Platform

Apache NetBeans can be installed on all operating systems that maintain Java, i.e, Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and BSD. Write Once, Run Anywhere, applies to NetBeans too.
