What is NetBeans?
NetBeans refers to both a platform framework for Java desktop applications, and an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing with Java[1], JavaScript[1], PHP[1], Python[2] (no longer supported after NetBeans 7), Groovy[1], C[1], C++[1], Scala[citation needed], Clojure[citation needed], and others. The NetBeans IDE 7.0 no longer supports Ruby and Ruby on Rails [1], but a third party has begun work on a separate plug-in.The NetBeans IDE is written in Java and can run anywhere a compatible JVM is installed, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Solaris. A JDK is required for Java development functionality, but is not required for development in other programming languages.The NetBeans platform allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called modules. Applications based on the NetBeans platform (including the NetBeans IDE) can be extended by third party developers.[3]
