What is Apache NetBeans?
Apache NetBeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java. It allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called modules. NetBeans runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris. In addition to Java development, it has extensions for other languages like PHP, C, C++, HTML5, and JavaScript.
