The IDE enables you to configure options for its many areas of functionality
as well as customize its workspace.
The IDE's Configuration Tools
The primary tools you can use to configure and update the IDE include the following:
- Options Window. Enables you to set general IDE settings, edit any of the IDE's configurable
settings and set keyboard shortcuts.
You open the Options window by choosing Tools > Options. (On Mac OS X,
choose NetBeans > Preferences.)
For more information, see Using the Options Window.
- Plugins manager. Enables you to enable and disable installed plugins and add new or updated plugins to the
IDE. For more information, see Updating the IDE.
- You can also pass startup parameters to the IDE
launcher in the IDE-HOME/etc/netbeans.conf file
by using startup switches. For more information, see IDE Startup Parameters.
