Code that is written inside of the ‘main’ method will be run. The ‘Run’ tab lets you run your code to the ‘Output’ window by tapping ‘Run File’. The purpose of the editor is to print feedback to the ‘ Output’. You can manage your text editor preferences in the ‘Options’ section of the ‘Tools’ tab. NetBeans includes a spell checker, formatting, and highlighting features. The text editor lets you write code and you can conveniently do this with code completion. The ‘Navigator’ area will display an outline of the methods in a highlighted program. Each project will have an addition sign that you can expand to see the files that are included. A list of your projects and files will appear in the upper left corner.

All the areas are tabbed to let you work on multiple items at once.

NetBeans has a clean user interface with four main sections. You can click on ‘Finish’ when you confirm the class and it will be saved to the correct project. The associated project will be listed beneath the class name. ‘ Java Class’ in the context menu lets you make a new file that you can name. The next development step is to set up a new file. Your project will be created after you press the ‘Finish’ button and will appear in the upper left panel. You can uncheck the command to write your own code. ‘Create Main Class’ will build code for you when you keep the setting checked. You can change the default destination by tapping ‘Browse’ to look through your directory. A project name should not include spaces between words, but multiple words can be written beside each other. The second step lets you decide on a name and location for the project. A brief description will appear when you highlight each category in the list. Two panels are available to choose from: the ‘Categories’ section includes Java, JavaFX, and Maven, and the ‘Projects’ panel includes another list. The first step lets you establish the type of project you want to build. A window will appear to let you customize.

You can also create a new project with the ‘File’ tab.

You will need to start a new project to begin building applications, which is possible by clicking on the tan folder and green plus sign icon. Either one or multiple files are in a single project. You can develop applications by creating projects and files. NetBeans IDE is used for building programs online.
