==Use Our Examples==
One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. In order to run the examples, you will need to download and install [https://netbeans.org/ NetBeans].


Now that you have NetBeans installed, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
*{{SampleCode|Java|Java Examples}} 


Next, open NetBeans and create a new project. Select ''Java Application'' then click ''Next >'':

|-

|style="text-align: center;"|Versions 10 and Older
|}


Give your project a name and finish creating the project:

Delete the java file that was generated with the project:

Replace the deleted file with the example files that you downloaded. Next, add a reference to phidget22.jar by right-clicking on the libraries folder:

You can find phidget22.jar at the following location:
*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\phidget22.jar

Finally, you can run the example by clicking the Run Project button.

==Setting up a New Project==
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget Java library.

To start, open NetBeans and create a new project. Select ''Java Application'' then click ''Next >'':
{|
|[[Image:Java_netbeans_newproject.PNG|link=|center|400px]]
|[[Image:Java_netbeans_newproject_8.PNG|link=|center|400px]]
|-
|style="text-align: center;"|Versions 11 and Newer
|style="text-align: center;"|Versions 10 and Older
|}

Give your project a name and finish creating the project:
[[Image:Java_netbeans_nameproject.PNG|link= |center]]


Next, add a reference to phidget22.jar by right-clicking on the libraries folder:
[[Image:Java_netbeans_addjar_v3.png|link= |center]]


You can find phidget22.jar at the following location:
*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\phidget22.jar


[[Image:Java_netbeans_jarpath.png|link=|center]]


Finally, to use the Phidget Java library, add the following import to your code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
import com.phidget22.*;
</syntaxhighlight>


Your project now has access to Phidgets.
