Once you download and install NetBeans IDE, then open it and it will show the following window.

In order to create a Project using NetBeans, click on File -> New Project option from the context menu as shown in the below image.

It will open the following “New Project” window. Here, you need to select “WebApplication” Project templates and then click on the “Next” button as shown in the below image.

Once you click on the Next button, it will open the following Name and Location window where you need to give the name and location of your project. Here, I provided the project Name as “WebApplication1” and then click on the “Next” button as shown in the below image.

Once you click on the Next button, it will open the Server and Settings window. Here, you need to select the server, Java EE Version and Context path as shown in the below image and click on the Next button.

Next, select the Frameworks (if any) and click on the “Finish” button. Here we are not selecting any Framework.

Once you click on the Finish button, it will create the project for us.

In order to create a Servlet, right click on your project and then select New -> Servlet option as shown in the below image.

It will open the following New Servlet window. Give the Servlet name as “DemoServlet” and click on the “Next” button as shown in the below image.

From the next window, configure the servlet deployment and click on the “Finish” button as shown in the below image.

Now open the DemoServlet and write down the Servlet Code here.
