| <p>The NetBeans Platform is a subset of NetBeans IDE. Once |
| you have NetBeans IDE, you can use its tools to access and use the |
| subset that is the NetBeans Platform as the basis of your |
| own application. In addition, you can then use NetBeans |
| IDE as the SDK for your NetBeans Platform application |
| development activities, since it comes with wizards |
| and templates to help you throughout the development |
| process. |

| <p>Alternatively, if you do not |
| want to use NetBeans IDE, you |
| can <a href="https://netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html">download a ZIP file</a> that |
| contains only the libraries that |
| make up the NetBeans Platform. (<a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/WorkingWithNetBeansSources">Or check the |
| sources out</a> from the Mercurial repository.) |
