Yay…small success…
Most of the stuff in there is generated by netbeans using the “New Project”->“General”->“Java Application” Wizard… I just added the OpenGL part.
“nbproject” is the netbeans project folder. It stores the project related settings you make inside the IDE in this folder.
“test” is where automated test cases reside. Just ignore it.
Instead of “org” you should have a “src” folder !? If you mean the “org” beneath it, than you have not changed the project “package” in the creation wizard. You organize your code in “packages” in Java. Usually you use yout website domain in the reverse order to identify code of yourself.
For example netbeans is a non-profit organization and they have a “netbeans.org” domain, so code they write is located in the package “org.netbeans” which corresponds to the folder “org/netbeans” in their source folders. Just create some more projects with different project package settings in the wizard and explore the result in the filesystem and inside the .java files (there is a package directive at the top of each file).
