At least in NetBeans, when you set up a type of "project," the base libraries are put on your compile path. For example, when you choose "Web Application," you don't have to do anything else to extend for example HttpServlet. > A right-click under the Servers tab to get New->Server will get you started. If this is the answer, then it is indeed a bit weird for someone from a NetBeans background. Hopefully, you're answering about the compile-time environment and not the run-time. (NetBeans comes with a server, Glassfish, by default if you get the "full Monty" (<-- air quotes), so perhaps that is why you don't have to explicitly install one in NB. It always has at least one server to compile against.)
