ABOUT NETBEANS IDE

The NetBeans IDE has seen adoption snowballing over the past
years, particularly with the introduction of a completely new,
rewritten, slick Java editor. You’ll find this reference card helpful
if you want to get as much out of the Java editor as its authors
intended when creating it. It lists all the keyboard shortcuts in
carefully thought out categories and it provides a thorough
exposition of optimal handling of Java code in the editor,
covering viewing, navigation, source handling, and refactoring.
