10Duke
Throughout the documentation, there are several relative path references, e.g., samples/console/simpleconsole. Once you've downloaded and uncompressed the SDK package, you'll get a directory tree and the paths in the documentation are relative to the root of that tree.
For your convenience, the samples are provided as NetBeans projects. Each sample directory path/to/sample has netbeans directory under it, e.g., path/to/sample/netbeans, that contain files to define the sample as a an IDE project.
If you open a project in NetBeans, it recognizes the netbeans directory as a project. Then select run or debug and you should have the sample running.
None of the samples are dependent on NetBeans, i.e., the code and configuration in a sample directory is enough for compiling and running. If you have trouble using the supplied project folders the IDE, or if your favourite IDE is not one of the above, you can manually set up a project and copy the files and folders from the sample directory (excluding netbeans folder, or course).
