Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to download and install NetBeans.
We also learned how to set up NetBeans with third-party Java EE application servers and with third-party relational database systems, including how to register a JDBC driver for the RDBMS in question.
We built and deployed our first Java EE application by using one of the sample projects included by NetBeans.
Finally, we covered some of the NetBeans' features such as code completion, code templates, keyboard shortcuts, and visual cues that allow us to do our job more effectively as software developers.
