According to the Netbeans site (http://netbeans.org/features/javascript/index.html), Netbeans can be used for "Developing with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS". However, the IDE does not ship with a project type just for this. Instead, there is a project type for PHP or (if you have a release before 7.0), Ruby etc. However, I just want to create a rich web application with Javascript/HTML/CSS. Perhaps there is a plugin for such a project type?

As far as I know, there is no plugin to create HTML project or General project (as in Eclipse). But for this I use Favorites tab:

  1. Display tab Favorites Windows > Favorites
  2. Find your directory for your html project
  3. Right click to directory and choose "Add To Favorites"

I hate to admit it, but it seems like this is the only decent answer. I am really disappointed that there is not some generic web editing project type for Netbeans, and I guess Oracle, having taken over, will never consider putting some effort behind such an endeavour.

You can just create a PHP project and then not create any PHP code. You will need the PHP plugin installed first.

This isn't relevant to Netbeans 6.9, but Netbeans 7.3 (in beta as of 11 January 2012) has support for strict HTML/JavaScript projects.
