Integrated development environment software for software development

NetBeans IDE Screenshot Apache NetBeans 12.2 in Arch Linux Original author Roman Staněk Developers Apache Software Foundation Oracle Corporation Stable release 30[1] / 11 May 2026; 52 days ago (11 May 2026) Written in Java Operating system Windows, macOS, Linux, Solaris; feature-limited OS independent version available Platform Java SE, Java EE, JavaFX Available in 28 languages List of languages see § Localization Type IDE License Apache License 2.0 (previously CDDL or GPLv2 with classpath exception)[2] Website netbeans.apache.org Repository github.com/apache/netbeans

**NetBeans** is an [integrated development environment](/source/Integrated_development_environment) (IDE) for [Java](/source/Java_(programming_language)). NetBeans allows applications to be developed from a set of modular [software components](/source/Software_component) called *modules*. NetBeans runs on [Windows](/source/Microsoft_Windows), [macOS](/source/MacOS), [Linux](/source/Linux) and [Solaris](/source/Oracle_Solaris). In addition to Java development, it has extensions for other languages like [PHP](/source/PHP), [C](/source/C_(programming_language)), [C++](/source/C%2B%2B), [HTML5](/source/HTML5),[3] and [JavaScript](/source/JavaScript). Applications based on NetBeans, including the NetBeans IDE, can be extended by [third party developers](/source/Third_party_developer).[4]

## History

NetBeans began in 1996 as Xelfi (word play on *[Delphi](/source/Delphi_(software))*),[5][6] a Java IDE student project under the guidance of the [Faculty of Engineering and Technology](/source/Faculty_of_Mathematics_and_Physics%2C_Charles_University) at [Charles University](/source/Charles_University) in [Prague](/source/Prague). In 1997, Roman Staněk formed a company around the project and produced commercial versions of the NetBeans IDE until it was bought by [Sun Microsystems](/source/Sun_Microsystems) in 1999. Sun open-sourced the NetBeans IDE in June of the following year. Since then, the NetBeans community has continued to grow.[7] In 2010, Sun (and thus NetBeans) [was acquired](/source/Sun_acquisition_by_Oracle) by [Oracle Corporation](/source/Oracle_Corporation). Under Oracle, NetBeans had to find some synergy with [JDeveloper](/source/JDeveloper), a freeware IDE that has historically been a product of the company, by 2012 both IDEs were rebuilt around a shared codebase - the NetBeans Platform. In September 2016, Oracle submitted a proposal to donate the NetBeans project to [The Apache Software Foundation](/source/The_Apache_Software_Foundation), stating that it was "opening up the NetBeans governance model to give NetBeans constituents a greater voice in the project's direction and future success through the upcoming release of Java 9 and NetBeans 9 and beyond". The move was endorsed by Java creator [James Gosling](/source/James_Gosling).[8] The project entered the Apache Incubator in October 2016[9] and graduated as Apache Software Foundation top level project in 2019. The first available version as Apache top level project was with Apache NetBeans 11.3.

## NetBeans IDE

**NetBeans IDE** is an [open-source](/source/Open-source_software) integrated development environment. NetBeans IDE supports development of all Java application types ([Java SE](/source/Java_Platform%2C_Standard_Edition) (including [JavaFX](/source/JavaFX)), [Java ME](/source/Java_Platform%2C_Micro_Edition), [web](/source/Web_application), [EJB](/source/EJB) and [mobile](/source/MIDlet) applications) out of the box. Among other features are an [Ant](/source/Apache_Ant)-based project system, [Maven](/source/Apache_Maven) support, [refactorings](/source/Refactoring), [version control](/source/Version_control_system) (supporting [CVS](/source/Concurrent_Versions_System), [Subversion](/source/Apache_Subversion), [Git](/source/Git), [Mercurial](/source/Mercurial) and [Clearcase](/source/Clearcase)).

### Modularity

All the functions of the IDE are provided by modules. Each module provides a well-defined function, such as support for the [Java language](/source/Java_(programming_language)), editing, or support for the [CVS](/source/Concurrent_Versions_System) versioning system, and SVN. NetBeans contains all the modules needed for Java development in a single download, allowing the user to start working immediately. Modules also allow NetBeans to be extended. New features, such as support for other programming languages, can be added by installing additional modules. For instance, [Sun Studio](/source/Sun_Studio_Compiler_Suite), Sun Java Studio Enterprise, and [Sun Java Studio Creator](/source/Sun_Java_Studio_Creator) from [Sun Microsystems](/source/Sun_Microsystems) are all based on the NetBeans IDE.

### License

NetBeans IDE is licensed under the [Apache License 2.0](/source/Apache_License_2.0). Previously, from July 2006 through 2007, it was licensed under Sun's [Common Development and Distribution License](/source/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License) (CDDL), a license based on the [Mozilla Public License](/source/Mozilla_Public_License) (MPL). In October 2007, Sun announced that NetBeans would henceforth be offered under a [dual license](/source/Dual_license) of the CDDL and the [GPL](/source/GPL) version 2 licenses, with the [GPL linking exception](/source/GPL_linking_exception) for [GNU Classpath](/source/GNU_Classpath).[10] Oracle has donated NetBeans Platform and IDE to the Apache Foundation where it underwent incubation and graduated as a top level project in April 2019.[11]

## Other products

In an October 2016 interview with Gabriela Motroc, Oracle Vice President Bill Pataky stated that Oracle has a number of products that depend on NetBeans.[12]

- [Oracle Developer Studio](/source/Oracle_Developer_Studio), a commercial [C](/source/C_(programming_language)), [C++](/source/C%2B%2B), [Fortran](/source/Fortran) and Java development environment is 100% based on NetBeans[12]

- [Oracle JDeveloper](/source/JDeveloper), an end-to-end development for Oracle's technology stack takes major subsystems from NetBeans[12]

- Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit, a modular, open source toolkit based on modern JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5 design and development principles uses NetBeans as its preferred IDE[12]

## Integrated modules

These modules are part of the NetBeans IDE:

### NetBeans Profiler

The **NetBeans Profiler**[13] is a tool for the monitoring of Java applications: It helps developers find [memory leaks](/source/Memory_leak) and optimize speed. Formerly downloaded separately, it is integrated into the core IDE since version 6.0. The [Profiler](/source/Profiler_(computer_science)) is based on a Sun Laboratories research project that was named JFluid. That research uncovered specific techniques that can be used to lower the overhead of profiling a Java application. One of those techniques is dynamic bytecode instrumentation, which is particularly useful for profiling large Java applications. Using dynamic bytecode instrumentation and additional algorithms, the NetBeans Profiler is able to obtain runtime information on applications that are too large or complex for other profilers. NetBeans also support Profiling Points that let developers profile precise points of execution and measure execution time.

### GUI design tool

NetBeans GUI Builder

Formerly known as *project Matisse*, the [GUI design](/source/Graphical_user_interface_builder)-tool enables developers to [prototype and design](/source/Graphical_user_interface_builder) [Swing](/source/Swing_(Java)) [GUIs](/source/Graphical_user_interface) by dragging and positioning GUI components.[14]

The GUI builder has built-in support for JSR 295 (Beans Binding technology), but the support for JSR 296 ([Swing Application Framework](/source/Swing_Application_Framework)) was removed in 7.1.

### NetBeans JavaScript editor

The NetBeans JavaScript editor provides extended support for [JavaScript](/source/JavaScript), Ajax, and [CSS](/source/CSS).[15][16]

JavaScript editor features comprise [syntax highlighting](/source/Syntax_highlighting), [refactoring](/source/Code_refactoring), [code completion](/source/Autocomplete) for native objects and functions, generation of JavaScript class skeletons, generation of [Ajax](/source/Ajax_(programming)) [callbacks](/source/Callback_(computer_science)) from a template; and automatic [browser compatibility](/source/JavaScript#Compatibility_considerations) checks.

CSS editor features comprise [code completion](/source/Autocomplete) for styles names, quick navigation through the navigator panel, displaying the CSS rule declaration in a List View and file structure in a Tree View, sorting the outline view by name, type or declaration order (List & Tree), creating rule declarations (Tree only), refactoring a part of a rule name (Tree only).

The NetBeans 7.4 and later uses the new [Nashorn JavaScript engine](/source/Nashorn_(JavaScript_engine)) developed by Oracle.

## NetBeans IDE download bundles

Users can choose to download NetBeans IDE bundles tailored to specific development needs. Users can also download and install all other features at a later date directly through the NetBeans IDE.
