Question: 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?

Answer: 
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"

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