| <h4>Welcome to the home of NetBeans, the Open-Source Java IDE.</h4> |
| |
| <h3>What is NetBeans?</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| NetBeans is a successful open-source project with a very large |
| user base, a vibrant developer community, and over 100 global partners. |
| Sun Microsystems founded and sponsored the NetBeans open-source |
| project in June 2000. After acquiring Sun Microsystems in 2010, Oracle took over the project's sponsorship. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>Two products exist: The NetBeans IDE and the NetBeans Platform.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| The <a href="https://netbeans.org/features/ide/index.html">NetBeans IDE</a> |
| is a development environment, a tool for programmers to write, |
| compile, debug and deploy programs. It is written in Java but can be used for any programming language. A vast number of |
| modules exist with which to extend the NetBeans IDE. The NetBeans IDE is a free |
| product with no restrictions on how it can be used. The <a href="https://netbeans.org/features/platform/index.html">NetBeans Platform</a> is a modular and extensible foundation for |
| creating large desktop applications. ISV partners provide value-added |
| plugins that easily integrate into the Platform and that can also be used to |
| develop their own tools and solutions. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p>Both products are open-source and free for commercial and non-commercial use. |
| The source code is available for reuse under the |
| <a href="https://netbeans.org/cddl-gplv2.html">Common Development |
| and Distribution License ( CDDL) v1.0 and the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2</a>. |
