To get yourself familiarised with using NetBeans, use it to write, compile and execute a small Java program.
There are a number of quick start guides, import and migration guides, and tutorials on the NetBeans website.
Depending on the version of NetBeans you have, you will get different versions of various Java tools and implementations.

* If you download NetBeans from netbeans.org you need to download and install Java separately and preferably prior to installing NetBeans. It is almost always best to download the latest stable release of Java.
% Not installed by default; you need to tell the installer if you want it.
