I want to write a java web application using NetBeans 7.0.1, but i can't find the option Java Web in File -> New Project. Do i need to get any special Java edition to do that?

3. Check the box for "Java EE Base" (note: on older NetBeans versions, the plugin to install was called "Java Web Applications").
4. Click the "Install" button.
5. Click your way through the dialogs until the plugin and its dependencies are installed.

You should now find "Java Web" in File -> New Project.
