How to use NetBeans for COMP 2402

3. Call it "Assignment1" and place it in the folder you use for the course.

4. Do not create a main class. We will use the ones in the assignment source.

5. Download the source code for the assignment and extract it to Assignment1/src.
   • 
   • 
6. The new files should automatically appear in NetBeans.
   • 
7. Create a test file called test.txt and place it in the Assignment1 directory.
   • 
8. In the toolbar, expand the drop-down menu that says "<default config>" and choose "Customize...".
   • 
9. Change the main class to the class you want to run (we'll pick Part0 here) and enter test.txt for the argument.
   • 
10. Run the project (from the toolbar or by pressing F6). The output should appear.
