NetBeans Platform Learning Trail
What is the NetBeans Platform?
The NetBeans Platform is a broad Java framework on which you
can base large desktop applications. NetBeans IDE itself is one of the
hundreds of applications based on
the NetBeans Platform. The NetBeans Platform contains APIs that simplify the handling
of windows, actions, files, and many other things typical in applications.
Each distinct feature in a NetBeans
Platform application can be provided by a distinct NetBeans module, which is comparable to a
plugin. A NetBeans module is a group of Java classes that provides an application
with a specific feature.
You can also create new modules for NetBeans IDE itself.
For example, you can write modules that make your favorite
cutting-edge technologies available to users of NetBeans IDE. Alternatively, you
might create a module to provide an additional editor feature.
