Downloading libGDX setup - java

I've recently come across libGDX for java game development and wanted to give it a try. Every tutorial i've looked up showed that i have to download the setup.jar from https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com. The problem i'm having is that upon visiting this site, i always get redirected to https://libgdx.com, where all i can find are features, a doc, news... and a git repo with code.
Can someone explain to me how i can still download the setup app. Or do i have to run the code from git? Maybe this is a completely stupid question and i'm missing something really obvious but currently i'm completely lost.

It looks like the Website of the libGdx Developers has changed.
I researched a bit and found out that they provide you useful tools for programming with libgdx.
The tool list contains the Setup Tool.
You can find a list of the tools here:
https://libgdx.com/dev/tools/
However I have had ungreat experiences with the tool.
If the tool installation does not work properly. I would recommend you to try to install it manually.
You can find informations about the Manual installation here:

VSCode how do two developers compile code on their own PC?

I'm using VSCode to make a Java game with my friend. We are using the java.awt libraries. We are using live share so we can both work on the code, but when we compile the game window only shows up for me (the host) and not him. How do we go about working on this game together?
If it's not clear what I'm asking, please ask.
I'd suggest looking into GitHub.
You can upload your code from VSCode to a repository on GitHub that you and your friend can both access.
It's a version control system, so you can both work separately without worrying about overwriting each other's work.\GitHub and VSC both have lots of good tutorials to get you started.

I'm not sure if this is a java issue or a web3 issue (just need some direction)

I'm having a really stupid issue and I'm not sure if I'm an idiot or not remembering java correctly or what. I apologize in advance if this is a super dumb question.
Main issue: I'm trying to use web3j with java and I can't figure out how
Background:
1) I know JAVA (I've developed android apps in android studio) but not netbeans. Though I haven't touched java in forever.
2) I am familiar with building and interacting with ethereum contracts from the command line.
Detailed issue:
I need to connect to an ethereum contract through java, so I googled around for a while and found web3j. However... I can't figure out how to actually use/install/require it. There's a sample project, but I'm not sure how to import that to netbeans. And when I google "connect to ethereum with java" or something along those lines all the articles gloss over the web3j part and just assume it's already setup.
I guess the main question is, how do I add this library to my java project in netbeans?
this is relatively vague I know, but it's because I haven't actually been able to make any meaningful progress to say "this is what I've tried." mostly it's been research and I've not found anything that says anything about how to setup web3j other than command-line tools. which I already know how to use.

Thanks in advance for any direction you can give me. I feel like maybe I need to redo a java primer, but I'm not sure if that's actually the issue (my possibly lapsed memory where java is concerned).
In Netbeans, create a new "Maven Java Project".
In the file pom.xml, simply add the following code. This will make the "include"
<dependency>
<groupId>org.web3j</groupId>
<artifactId>core</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
</dependency>

How to install and use NatTable?

I have developed some web applications before and everything is well documented and there is a framework for anything. I am new to Swing and desktop application development and I found that documentation is sparse and you have to figure out a lot of things by experimenting.
I've been googling for a few hours on how to setup NatTable and I couldn't find anything. I was surprised no one asked the question before. I just want some instructions on how to get the basics working on Eclipse and NetBeans. I was using Eclipse in the past but I think I will use NetBeans for this project as the Swing GUI editor is better.
Is NatTable exclusive to Eclipse or will it also work with NetBeans? If someone can post screenshots of the setup procedure, that would be awesome.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The NatTable project has a website that contains some information. It doesn't cover everything, but how to install and use it is explained:
https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=getting_started
Currently NatTable is building a SWT control. Swing is not supported. That might change in the future.

Eclipse subversive on dev box issue

I recently started on a new project where they do not have eclipse working with subversion. They say it is not possible because our dev boxes do not get internet connection. However, I'm not so quick to give up.
We are currently using TortoiseSVN over our secured network just fine. Surely we must be able to set-up Eclipse to do the same?
I have done some research and am having a hard time finding an answer off google searches and thought I'd ask here. Most of the SVN eclipse guides ive seen require a web address to host the file. Any thoughts?

Where can I download the source of "appframework.jar" that comes with NetBeans?

I have just started to try NetBeans. I created a new Java Desktop Application project, and it automatically added the JDesktop "appframework-1.0.3.jar" library. However, whenever I try to view its source, the command fails. I tried searching for it online, but I couldn't find it. So where can I download the source code for the "Swing Application Framework" (appframework.jar and swing-worker.jar)?
http://java.net/projects/appframework/sources/svn/show/trunk/AppFramework
the link and the source is too old and hard to be found,luckly i used 30 min find it in :
https://java.net/projects/appframework/sources/svn/show/trunk/www/downloads?rev=151
you can see the "source","jar","doc" of appframework-1.0.3.jar at the ending.
If you came to this question, because you couldn't find "Swing Application Framework" (appframework.jar) using Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins My Answer may help you.
First If you just need appframework.jar please get it from the below link.
If you already click the links in other answers you can Swing Application Framework has migrated from java.net and hard to find where it is migrated
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.java.dev.appframework/appframework/1.03
If you just need Netbeans for Swing Application developments, I suggest you use Netbeans 8.0.2 version. As I experienced Latest version does not have the exact IDE which uses in Video Tutorials, Other versions may not properly work with Swing. As per my experience below version will serve you right when it comes to Java Swing Application developments
https://netbeans.org/downloads/old/8.0.2/
