Netbeans For Mac

'At Liquid Robotics, our use of NetBeans IDE is all about integration. There's the seamless integration of development tools and Java technologies within NetBeans IDE, but it's also very good at integrating external features, for example, Jenkins, which we use for our build server, Git (via GitBlit), which is our source code repository, JIRA for bug tracking, Maven for running builds, and Artifactory for maintaining the artifacts created from the builds. Then there's the code we're writing—we have our own in-the-cloud data repository, a pile of web applications, some Java desktop applications, and code that runs on the robot using the JDK 7 embedded ARM VM. Being able to debug and do performance monitoring directly on an embedded device is huge. I was a very early adopter of NetBeans IDE 7.3, which introduced this feature, just because of its support for embedded profiling.'

'NetBeans IDE is the key development environment for the Payara engineering team for developing Payara Server, a drop-in replacement for GlassFish, with full 24/7 software support. We use GIT and Maven throughout our development lifecycle and the NetBeans support for these tools is first rate. As we are building a Java EE 7 application server, the extensive tooling in NetBeans for the rapid creation of Java EE applications means that our engineers can rapidly build Java EE test cases and example applications to put Payara through its paces. In addition, the built-in integration with GlassFish means we can point NetBeans at a Payara installation, and then deploy and debug Java EE 7 applications on the server immediately. We’ve found the IDE is very intuitive with great depth for experienced developers and also very easy for new developers and interns to get to grips with quickly.'
- Steve Millidge, Payara Founder, Payara.

'We needed tools that would shield the complexity of building RESTful web services and instead would allow us to focus on domain-specific functionality as much as possible. NetBeans IDE enables us to do exactly that because it is a feature-rich IDE that allows for rapid application development by means of design pattern templates and many advanced editor features, such as smart and expressive code completion.'
- Ed van Velzen, IT Director, Amnesty International (Customer Case Study (PDF))

NetBeans is a very useful Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports the development of many languages on the Mac. In the first article, I explained how to do the install. Here, in Part II, well show how to get started writing and learning HTML.

Summary of Part I

NetBeans is written in Java, and in the first article, I showed how to install Java 8 and then NetBeans 8.2.

[How to Install NetBeans to Write and Debug HTML on Your Mac for Free, Part I ]

Netbeans Jdk Download 32 Bit

There, I discussed the inconvenience of setting up a traditional web server, either on your Mac or with a service—likely at some cost for the latter with a reputable company. Then, I discussed how NetBeans has within it a local web server engine that can be accessed privately. Then you can use, say, Safari, to test your HTML and CSS.

There are some nuance when it comes to setting up your NetBeans environment, so let’s get started.

Using NetBeans

To get started, launch NetBeans. In the previous article, I showed how to place it in the Dock, like any other Mac app, You should see the splash screen, like this.

NetBeans splash screen.

Some users become immediately overwhelmed right here. The trick is to instead focus on the NetBeans File menu on the upper left. Select

NetBeans new project.

First, ignore the search field at the top. Instead:

  1. Under Categories, click on HTML5/JavaScript.
  2. Under Projects, click on HTML5/JS Application.
  3. Click Next >

On the next page, you’ll name your project and define where it will be placed. A convenient place to put your projects is in the root of your home folder, as I did.

NetBeans project name, location.

After you’ve defined the name and location, Click Next >. In this example, there is no site template, so opt for “No Site Template” and click Next >. Then we get to the Tools page.

NetBeans Tools. (Not used.)

De-select all these tools. For this howto, they’ll just get in the way. Click Finish. When you do, you’ll finally be dropped into the glorious NetBeans IDE with some boilerplate HTML code already there as a trial template. Like this:

The NetBeans IDE.

Some notes at this point are in order. First, the IDE may look a bit overwhelming. That’s okay. One learns an IDE piecemeal. First come the basics: trial editing, saving, and inspecting (with a browser.)

Netbeans For Macbook Pro

Right here, you’ll want to learn more from the NetBeans documentation. There’s plenty, including a Quick Start Guide. It’s very good.

Continuing, for the sake of a fast start, you’ll want to define your web browser. In this howto, we’ll use Safari. Notice at the top of the iDE is a (default) Chrome icon with a dropdown arrow. (If you want to fully use Chrome, it requires a special NetBean’s plug-in, so we won’t go there.)

Part of the NetBeans IDE menu bar.

Click the down arrow, and you’ll see options for your browser. Click on Safari. The browser selection window will close and icon in the menu bar will change to reflect Safari as your browser of choice.

Netbeans For Mac

Select Web Browser.

Now, you can test your boilerplate HTML code. Click on the right facing green arrow in the menu bar. (See menu bar screenshot above.) Safari will launch and show you the result.

Run Safari. Showing the boilerplate HTML.

Summary

So far, you’ve installed Java, installed NetBeans, created a NetBeans HTML/CSS project, selected a browser, and viewed the boilerplate HTML in Safari. Next is a taste of error handling. It’s pretty cool.

Debugging HTML

As a brief introduction to what NetBeans can do, try deleting the “div” code at the end of line 14. Right away, you’ll see a (light bulb) alert in the column of line numbers on the left. Click on it, and you’ll see a yellow box explaining what the IDE didn’t like about your HTML.

An iDE error alert.

Undo your edit by replacing the “/div” and click the double floppy disk icon (anachronistic but traditional) in the menu bar to save your work. You’re back where you started. You can then go to the

There is much more to learn, of course. But with this howto and the NetBeans docs, you’re poised to begin the process of learning HTML with a great IDE and free, local, private web server engine.

Finally, here’s a good book we’ve found, at Amazon, as a learning aid. “A Smarter Way to Learn HTML & CSS.”

Now go have some fun.
