NetBeans, yet another Open-source Java IDE & JBean platform !!!

Welcome to NetBeans
* The NetBeans IDE is a development environment - a tool for programmers to write, compile, debug and deploy programs. It is written in Java - but can support any programming language. It is a free product with no restrictions on how it can be used.

* The NetBeans platform is an application runtime - a "generic large desktop application." Most desktop applications have common requirements - menus, document management, settings and so forth. Nobody enjoys writing menu code or setting storage code. With the NetBeans Platform, you don't have to. Just write modules to implement what you need, bundle them up with the NetBeans Platform, and you have a beautiful, branded, cross-platform application. And if you need custom functionality or components, the Platform is built to be flexible.
