This is the home of NetBeans in Education Community. The main goal of
the community is to bring together people dealing with teaching Java,
Computer Science or just interested in new ways of using the internet in
the classroom.
Get Set Up
NetBeans IDE 6.5 is out. The Java SE installer is perfect for
introductory Java classes. It comes in at a slim 37 megabytes and
only contains the basics needed to get started learning Java SE
and Swing programming. For classes on web applications and Java EE programming, get the
Java installer, with bundled Tomcat and Glassfish servers.
Looking for an even simpler interface to teach total beginners?
Try the NetBeans IDE BlueJ plugin.

The NetBeans/BlueJ team
has uploaded a new multilingual version of the first full release
of a BlueJ plugin for NetBeans IDE onto
the stable NetBeans Update Center. Therefore, there is now
no longer a NetBeans BlueJ edition, but instead
a plugin on the update center that installs into
NetBeans IDE. For all the details, see Getting Started with the NetBeans BlueJ Plugin.
