Why don't you download and install Netbeans 4.1 from http:// 
www.netbeans.org?

You do not need the version that includes the Sun Java Application  
Server (SJAS), just the regular version is fine.

I have done scads of development in Netbeans, so if you have  
questions getting started, contact me off-list and I'll give you my  
number.
