I am using the Linux operating system Ubuntu, version 11.04


and Netbeans version 7.0.1

|-

get familiarised with the interface of Netbeans, and 

Create a sample Java Project.

Installation Process
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Let us first look at first installing the IDE.


Netbeans can be downloaded from [http://www.netbeans.org/ www.netbeans.org].


Click on the Download link on the main page of the site.


On the next page which loads, click on the download link in the last column which includes all the supported technologies along with Glassfish Server.


The installation of Netbeans also requires the installtion of the Java Development Kit, JDK, which can be downloaded from [http://java.sun.com/ java.sun.com].


Click on the Get Java link here and select the link to download both the Netbeans and JDK Bundle.


Select the setup file for your operating system.


On Ubuntu, the setup file is downloaded as a '''.sh''' file, 


i.e as a shell script file.


Run this file by going to the Terminal from the Applications and Accessories menu.


Type '''sh '''followed by the name of the setup file, hit '''Enter.'''


This will start the installer.


You can launch the IDE by going to the Ubuntu menu item Applications > Programming > Netbeans IDE.

| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Let us now look at the Netbeans Window. 


When you first launch the IDE, it opens the Netbeans Start Page.


The IDE window contains

* menus
* toolbars
* workspaces like,
** file system window
** runtime window
** output window



|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Menu Bar


Tool Bar


Workspace
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| The '''main menu '''provides most of the commands you need to use Netbeans, including


'''creating, editing, compiling, running '''and '''debugging programs'''.


The '''tool bar '''provides buttons for several frequently used commands on the menu bar.


'''Workspace '''is a collection of windows that are used for performing certain types of operations


such as '''editing, execution, output, or debugging.'''

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Creating a Project
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''Creating a Project'''


Let us create a Sample Java Project now.


A project contains information about programs and their dependent files.


It also stores and maintains the properties of the IDE.


To create and run a program, you have to first create a project.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| 
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| '''To create an IDE project:'''

In the menu bar, choose File > New Project.


In the New Project wizard, expand the General category and select Java Application.


Click '''Next'''.


In the Name and Location page of the wizard, do the following 


* In the Project Name field, type '''KeyboardIntegerReader'''.
* Leave the Set as Main Project checkbox selected.
* Click Finish.

The project is created and opened in the IDE. You should see the following components: 

* The Projects window, which contains a tree view of the components of the project, including source files, libraries that your code depends on, and so on.
* The Source Editor window with a file called '''KeyboardIntegerReader''' open.

In the main class, I have now entered a sample java code, 

which reads input from the keyboard and gives an output indicating if is a whole number or a floating point number

I am now copying this code which was written earlier, and pasting it into the main class.

| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| When you run a java application, the IDE:

* builds and compiles the application code
* runs the program in the output window

Right-click on the project node in the Projects window, and select the Run option.


You can also select the '''Run '''option from the toolbar or press '''F6 '''on your keyboard to run your projects.

|-

As an extension to the KeyboardIntegerReader program, 


construct a project which converts temperatures (integers) 


from Celsius to Farenheit and vice versa.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| Switch to Netbeans Window

When I run this project, the IDE prompts me for the input temperature in Output terminal below the workspace.
