Using Netbeans +Glassfish

Hi, I've just got my first job with a company, and my project lead's insisting on using netbeans & glassfish for Java EE Projects. I'm completely ignorant about the methos, and found no one to help. I've been using Tomcat & notepad till now, so this is totally new. Could someone gimme some noob-friendly instructions? Thank You.

cool Debojit you have been doing your coding manually that is notepad and tomcat container..me on the other hand is still unable to figure it out how to do it manually

dont worry mate you will learn it automatically as i did..just click on the

file menu bar---->new project----->web applications //in case of usin JSP SERVLETS stuff

on the right hand side you will see the project you have named prefixed with some sort of bullet (well basically like a globe)

just right click on it and click on new

as soon as you click on new you will see JSP/html etc

dude dont worry you are far more better as you tried to do it manually

er,thanks for the compliment, but I'd still like some noob-friendly instructions, like where to store the code on the server, how to link the files to the server, how to activate & use glassfish... the entire thing, actually.

Debojit,
Welcome to the Ranch.

Have you checked out http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/tools/netbeans_part1/ ?
Also, please do take out time to read http://faq.javaranch.com/java/HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch

We have a forum dedicated for IDE related questions. I will move this thread over there for you.

Thank you. I actually couldn't find a thread for IDEs so I posted here.

As for the 'how-to's of JAVA Ranch, I went through them, and my detailed query is as follows:

I would like some noob-friendly (step-by-step, if possible) instructions for developing Java EE projects on Netbeans and deploying the same on Glassfish. I'm completely new to using tools of any kind, having used notepad as my only text editor till date, so some details obvious to others would be much appreciated.

You'll find on netbeans.org enough tutorials to get you started, eg.:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart.html (Netbeans Quickstart)
http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenAndNetBeansForGlassFish (Developing Enterprise Applications for GlassFish using Maven and NetBeans)

Just take some time to search the site. The information you can find there are quite comprehensive.

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I'll look into the sites and let you know in a few days. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the links, they were very helpful. Oh, and sorry I couldn't post before.

Sorry to contradict my earlier post, but I'm finding out that I'm still having problems. I'd REALLY appreciate some step-by-step guide. This noob is really in a lot of trouble. I'm fobbing off my boss with notepad developed codes, but I'll be in trouble if he finds out.
