NETBEANS IDE HAS A COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT SYSTEM that provides a structure for your sources, tests, and outputs and that simplifies your workflow. This project system is based on the Ant build tool, which provides added flexibility in the way you configure your projects.

This chapter provides an overview of the project system and how you can leverage it for your projects. In Chapter 16, you can learn some more advanced techniques, which are particularly useful if you are developing applications with specific requirements that are not addressed in standard IDE projects.

This chapter focuses on general issues for general Java projects (with some information specific for web projects added in). However, most of the information is relevant for all project categories. If you need project-related information that is specific to Enterprise or Mobility projects, see the corresponding chapters in this book.
