Did you know that…. the NetBeans IDE is the leading Open Source IDE (you can even compile, run and hack NetBeans inside NetBeans). It is a very powerful and easy to use multi-platform IDE for developing in multiple languages including Java, HTML5, and PHP.
It allows you to write, edit, debug and test your full stack applications. It integrates seamlessly with lots of other OS technologies including GIt and Maven. It can be extended with modules (and you can also write your own or even hack the IDE).
It is developed by a thriving community of Open Source developers under the Apache foundation who release 4 versions a year.
