I have tried to setup a mod development folder, but every time I run the bat file too get all the files a memory error stops it.

I followed the note on the forge documentation page and increased reserved memory to 4G and still get this error

I thought I was - how can you tell?

Its a server I set up for my family to play Minecraft on a couple years ago, I have been

updating it with each release. I have also setup a new one to test my mods - if I can ever make them

Do you know a better IDE , I thought NetBeans was the only one to support multiple platforms? 

( python, java, C/C++, PHP HTML CSS )

Ok I installed the newest JDK and now this error came up

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine java version from '9.0.1'.

However I still recommend to use IntelliJ Community Edition for Java development and then use something else for other languages if you do not want to spend the money. But in the end it's up to you, if you are happy with Netbeans, that's fine.

And just for an alternative viewpoint:

I like Eclipse. I know D7 hates it, but I don't really know why.

But the reason I like it is because it's refactoring tools are orders of magnitude better than any other IDE I'd ever used before.

Seriously, look at the difference between Eclipse and Visual Studio. Know what else VS can't do? Specify a superclass and interfaces when creating it, automatically creating stubs for any abstract methods.

You need to use Java 8, 9 isn't supported

ok - back to the drawing board

 IntelliJ is the new shiny sports car

Ahh, that explains why I don't like it much.

Too sporty for me. I don't need to go 230 mph down the highway, I just need to get there in a reasonable time.

(Case in point, my actual car right now is a 1997 Honda CR-V, I bought it about a year ago and it had 112,000 miles on it, its now got 127,000 or so)
