NetBeans project
I was just looking at the files generated by a NetBeans project.
I notice that the following directories are created.
Inside the nbproject subdir there are some project , implementation and properties files.
Each subdir has a few files in them. If I were to use textpad and work from the command line one would not have all the se files.
Nick, can you please point me to where I can read up more on the purpose of each of these files.

Ha ha, I love how curious and thorough you are! I'm certain the files are meta-data and scripts which tell NetBeans what files it needs, how they should be organized, and how to compile them. I've tried messing around with them a few times in order to convert a Java SE 8 project to be a Java SE 9 Modular project. But I had trouble figuring out all the places that needed changing. Other than that, I haven't needed to dig too deeply into the role of each file, so I'm not sure which resources would be best. I'll ask around.

Hopefully I'll be able to reach one of the product managers to provide thoughts here on the forum. In the meantime, they said the information on each file was google-able piece-wise and recommended this stackoverflow thread as an example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33772118/difference-between-build-xml-and-build-impl-xml
