I strongly suggest that you learn Java, and not NetBeans.
Integrated Development Environments are intended for use by competent
developers only, since they hide many of the details of what is actually
happening, and it is assumed that the user can determine what that is.
Clearly, in this case, you can't.
Grab the Sun SDK and a decent text editor and get cracking.
