From Netbeans to a Flash Drive

[BrighidKHeh]

How do I transfer my Java Netbeans project to a flash drive? I program on a Classmate, but need to move the code over to an Alienware to run the robot code. Every time I try to save the code on the flash drive, it saves as a document instead of the actual code. And should it matter that the computer I'm coding on has Netbeans version 7.2.1 while the computer that I want to run the code on has version 8.0.2?

Hi! I'm not sure how to solve your code-on-computer-file-on-USB problem, but I have a solution! Have you heard of GitHub? It's free version web-based control, which pretty much means that you can upload your code and download it onto a different computer via the wonderful thing that is the internet! The link to Git is here: https://github.com/. It's a slightly confusing when you first start to use it, but there are a lot of good tutorials (https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1 is my favorite) on the internet. Good luck from team 2399!

You need to copy the entire Netbeans project folder over to the flash drive. By default, Netbeans projects are saved in "User/My Documents/NetBeansProjects". Then, copy the folder that matches the name of your project (i.e. "MyRobot"), put it on the flash drive, and put it on the other computer. Then, go to File -> Open Project and navigate to wherever you saved the project and open it.
