NetBeans IDE

Java programmers require a fast and fully-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with support for Java(TM) compliant applications for accelerating development across all major OS platforms. NetBeans.org provides an open source, high performance, modular, extensible, multi-platform Java IDE to accelerate the development of Java applications, web services and mobile applications.

NetBeans Platform

Building a desktop application using the NetBeans Platform can save years of developer time. The Platform provides the services common to almost all large desktop applications - window, menu, settings management and storage, file access and more. Developers get the freedom to concentrate on their business logic - writing modules that implement functionality that makes that application unique. Just write modules to implement what you need, bundle them up with the NetBeans Platform, and you have a beautiful, branded, cross-platform application. And if you need custom functionality or components, the Platform is built to be flexible.
