+                    NetBeans Project Files for JDK Demos
+
+This directory contains project files for the NetBeans IDE for the all-Java
+JDK demos (some of the demos involve C code; no NetBeans project files are
+provided for them at this time).  For example, to bring up the Java2D demo
+in NetBeans, do the following:
+
+1. If you do not already have NetBeans, download it from
+     http://www.netbeans.org/
+   and follow the directions for installation.
+2. Start NetBeans.
+3. From the main menu, choose File -> Open Project.
+4. In the popup window, navigate to the JDK distribution and within that to
+   the "demo" directory.
+5. Press the "Open Project Folder" button.  That will open all of the demos
+   (for which there are project files) as subprojects.
+6. There should now be a Java2D project in the Projects tab of the IDE.
+   Right-click on the project name and choose an appropriate action, e.g.
+     Clean and Build Project
+   and then
+     Run Project
+   Some, but not all, of the projects can be run as applets as well.
+
+Documentation and support for NetBeans is available at the NetBeans web site:
+     http://www.netbeans.org/
+
+Notes:
+ 1. jconsole-plugin is a special kind of project, a plugin for jconsole.
+    Therefore it is not possible to run the project directly from the IDE.
