Can't create Java Web Application in NetBeans

Question

I want to write a java web application using NetBeans 7.0.1, but i can't find the option Java Web in File -> New Project. Do i need to get any special Java edition to do that?

@AdelBoutros, not necessarily because that question is about version 6.8, not 7.0+. — Paul

Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins.
Click on the "Available Plugins" tab.
Check the box for "Java EE Base" (note: on older NetBeans versions, the plugin to install was called "Java Web Applications").
Click the "Install" button.
Click your way through the dialogs until the plugin and its dependencies are installed.
Restart the IDE.

You should now find "Java Web" in File -> New Project.

You just repeated what the answer of that question suggested. Do not take credit for others' answers.

@AdelBoutros I know it's easier to click the downvote button than it is to read but you should at least take the time to consider what you're writing. For example, my answer gives the exact title of the plugin necessary. How did I steal that from the other answer? I didn't because I took the time to install the basic version of NetBeans 7.0.1, then install the plugins necessary to enable Java web application development. I had NB 6.8 on this computer so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone: upgrade my installation and help someone out.

Thank you. I believe it should be noted that in order for your answer to work for me, I had to go to Tools > Plugins > Settings and click "Netbeans Distributions". Before I did that, I could not see "Java Web Applications" on my list.

For NetBeans 8.2 use kangaswad's answer. The plugin to install is Java EE Base.

For NetBeans 8.2 basic installation this is the correct method, the plugin is called "Java EE Base", not "Java Web Applications".

My answer will provide images for you to understand easily.

Go to Tools -> Plugins like this image

In Plugins windows, select Available Plugins tab, choose and install Java EE Base like this image

Now just follow the instruction and install the plugin, when it's done, restart the Netbeans, then you can create Java Web Application like this image

I had problems while finding the plugins under the Available plugins tab. The reason was under the settings tab, the three checkboxes were unchecked. I checked them all and then I can see the plugins under the Available plugins Tab.

And then I followed the steps mentioned in other answers. Hope this is also useful to this context.

Well, maybe you cant find Java Web in the installation list, so, search for Java EE Base, in Netbeans 7.x is the option, and includes the comment that includes Java Web and EE.

If you have NetBeans 8.2+ and installed the EE edition, open the plugin panel from Tools -> Plugins. Go to the installed tab and check the Java EE Base plugin. Then activate that plugin.

If you need other options as well the select all the plugins under the Web and Java EE category and activate them.

In my case Above mentioned thing didn't worked for me.

I have installed multiple JDK (JDK version 8 and 9) due to which Netbeans 8.2 might not working as expected and then I was unable to create project.

Then I removed JDK9 and cleared cache from \Users\admin\AppData in windows.

Then I was able to create Java Project.
