5.5 CHAPTER SUMMARY
Basic and fundamental knowledge about and implementations of the Apache NetBeans IDE 12 are discussed and presented, with some real example projects, in this chapter. The components and architecture of the Apache NetBeans IDE 12 are introduced and analyzed in detail at the begin-ning of this chapter. Following an overview of Apache NetBeans IDE 12, a detailed discussion and introduction of the Apache NetBeans IDE 12 platform is given. A detailed introduction to and illus-tration of how to download and install the Apache NetBeans IDE 12 are provided in this chapter.
Most popular technologies and applications supported by the Apache NetBeans IDE 12 are dis-cussed, which include:
- Java Ant applications
- Java Class Library
- Build a Java project with existing sources
- Build a free-form Java project
- Build a Java Web Application project
Each of these technologies and implementations is discussed and analyzed in detail with real project examples and line-by-line code illustrations and explanations. Each real sample project has been compiled and built in the NetBeans IDE and can be downloaded and run at a user’s computer easily and conveniently.
All of these technologies and their implementations are discussed and illustrated by using real project examples in this chapter step by step and line by line. By following these example projects, users can learn and master those key techniques easily and conveniently with lower learning curves.
All actual example projects discussed and developed in this chapter have been compiled and built successfully and are stored in the folder Class DB Projects\Chapter 5 located in the Students folder at the CRC Press ftp site (refer to Figure 1.2 in Chapter 1).
