Welcome to the NetBeans community. We develop the NetBeans IDE, a full-featured environment of tools for software developers, and also the NetBeans Platform, our widely adopted framework for professional desktop applications.

NetBeans IDE connects developers. The NetBeans IDE 6.7 introduces integration with Project Kenai, a collaborative environment for developers to host open-source projects. The release also builds on the success of the NetBeans IDE 6.5 with native support for Maven, integration of GlassFish, the Java ME SDK 3.0, and Hudson, and enhancements to Java, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Groovy and C/C++ support.

The only IDE you need. NetBeans runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris, it is open source and free. Learn more...
