Creating a Maven project with NetBeans 7
Much like Eclipse, NetBeans is an open source platform-framework and an IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) for developing with Java and other technologies.
It is a free and open source software maintained by the NetBeans community and backed by
Sun/Oracle Corporation. According to http://netbeans-org:
"The NetBeans IDE is written in Java and runs everywhere where a JVM is installed,
including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Solaris… The NetBeans Platform allows
applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called
modules. Applications based on the NetBeans platform (including the NetBeans
IDE) can be extended by third party developers."
The Maven module will either be pre-included in your NetBeans installation or can be installed
on top of the NetBeans IDE.
