NetBeans Java Project Folder and Project Location

I'm new to Java and a little confused about how NetBeans manages the directory structure. I understand that there is a structure to the main project name directory

, then src

, build

, dist

etc.

But I don't understand why NetBeans creates a two-level directory in my case below:

What is the difference between directories and ? project

myapp

The folder project

contains only myapp

and myapp

contains src

, dist

, build

etc. Another picture:

What are directories and for? What's the difference between them? project

A project location is where you can store many different projects. Each of them will have their own project folder.

The directory project

is simply where you configured the netbeans project repository.

But the subdirectory myapp

is just one of the project name of your NetBeans projects, which should be kept inside the parent NetBeans projects directory . (D:\dev\java\project)



There may be similar multiple projects that will be stored in this directory by default (D:\dev\java\project)

--- NetBeans Projects as some: -

(D:\dev\java\project\myapp2)

(D:\dev\java\project\myapp3)
