NetBeans IDE was started as a student project in the Czech Republic around November 2001. But later Sun Microsystems acquired it as an open source project. This was first sponsored open source project of Sun Microsystems. Now it is managed by netbeans.org an independent organization.

The main features of NetBeans IDE are its easy support for developing Web and Enterprise Application in a very quick way. It has almost all the tools software developers need to create cross-platform Java desktop, Enterprise and Web applications. IDE Runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS, as well as Solaris. It is open-source and free.


NetBeans is not only a Java development environment. NetBeans holds a lot of features like profiler, mobility pack,c/c++ development pack etc.

    Hi, nice blog, but one correction - NetBeans started as project Xelfi much earlier at Czech university in Prague (I think it was in year 1996). NetBeans as a company was acquired by Sun in 1999 and opensourced in year 2000. Also, you mention Eclipse in this post instead of NetBeans (”There are two major steps to get your eclipse IDE running on your system”) :)
