I am new to NetBeans and I can't create a "Java Application" project, like shown in all tutorials. I can only create a Java Free-Form Project, but this requires a build script, which I don't have either. Do I have to download a plugin for it and if so which plugin? Or did I download the wrong NetBeans version? I am using ubuntu version 15 and NetBeans IDE 8.1. http://imgur.com/90AeiDG screenshot.

Just make sure you have JDK installed on your system. (I am pretty sure, it would be as Netbeans doesn't install if JDK is not found on your machine, but just to be sure about it). Also, You might have missed to select Java in Select Languages during installation. To activate a feature manually:

  1. Open the Tools > Plugins menu

  2. Go to the Installed tab.

  3. Select and activate the feature you need.

  4. Return to the New Project dialog.
