NetBeans has great support for Maven. For example the project structure in the Project navigator of NetBeans reflects the type of Maven project. A simple project has separate folders for sources, resources, libraries and project files. A web application project has an extra folder for web pages. This makes it very easy to navigate to our source files in the different projects.
