| <p class="intro"> |
| NetBeans IDE is a modular developer tool for a wide range of |
| application development technologies. The base IDE includes an advanced multi-language |
| editor, Debugger and Profiler, as well as tools for versioning control |
| and developer collaboration. |

| <h2>Templates and Sample Applications</h2> |
| <p> NetBeans IDE gives you skeleton applications in the form of project templates |
| for all the technologies it supports. In addition, it |
| provides a set of sample applications, some of which |
| can be recreated step by step by following a related tutorial |
| available on NetBeans.org.</p> |
| <p>The IDE |
| provides project templates and sample projects that help you create Java SE applications, |
| Java EE applications, Java ME applications, |
| HTML5 applications, |
| NetBeans Platform applications, PHP application, and C/C++ applications.</p> |

| <h2>Databases and Services</h2> |
| <p> The Services window gives you access to many ancillary resources, |
| such as databases, servers, web services, and issue trackers.</p> |
| <p> You can start and stop databases and servers directly in the IDE. When |
| working with databases, you can add, remove, and modify your data in the IDE. |
| When you have deployed an application to a server, you can manage your |
| deployed resources because they are displayed in the Servers node. </p> |
| <p>You can connect to |
| a bug database, such as Issuezilla or Bugzilla, and list |
| issue reports for your project right in the IDE.</p> |

| <h2>Plugin Manager</h2> |
| <p> |
| While using the IDE, you can always go to the Plugin Manager from the Tools menu to |
| add, remove, or update the installed set of features. </p> |
| <p>A wide variety of plugins are available for all types of development, |
| from Java SE, Java EE, Java ME, HTML5, |
| Groovy, and PHP to C/C++ development.</p> |
| <p>Community contributed plugins are also available in the NetBeans Plugin Portal.</p> |
