<p>This document demonstrates how to create a NetBeans module from a Maven archetype and build and install the module in NetBeans IDE or any other application on the NetBeans Platform. In this tutorial, you will create a module project that when installed enables you to recognize a new type of file in your projects. The module also creates a menu action that is available when the user right-click a file conforming to the new file type.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This document is based on the Ant-based <a href="../nbm-filetype/" class="xref page">NetBeans File Type Tutorial</a> and can be used to learn some of the differences between using Ant and Maven to develop NetBeans modules. After you understand the differences, you can easily proceed through other tutorials on the <a href="../../kb/docs/platform/" class="xref page">NetBeans Platform Learning Trail</a>.</p>
