Answer 1

Mirielle it is not true that NetBeans is abandoned and obsolete. On the contrary it is under active development. But it's true that these days it has become less popular than IntelliJ.

"Apache NetBeans is released four times a year.
Apache NetBeans 16
Latest version of the IDE, released on November 30, 2022."

Alex Williams to get started you should read the documentation about installing and setting up the software.

Answer 2

I don't recommend IDEs for beginners.
If you're new to the Java programming language how about using the code playground to practice?
You can avoid all the extra need to set up your development environment and start learning right away.

But since you are interested in NetBeans.

This YouTube video could get you started.
However, I'm not sure how much has changed since this video was uploaded.
