Depends what you mean by that. NB does have auto-refresh of static files 
(this should work out of the box, just refresh the page). Java EE apps 
can also auto-deploy on save (a project option). And if you change a 
body of a Java function you can do quick deploy and don't even have to 
refresh the page to use a new version of the changed API, just click 
again (very convenient if state is in the browser partially).

There are various watch tools and auto-refresh tools for JavaScript that 
don't need IDE at all. But that depends on how you build JS. You can for 
example use VS Code + Live Server for frontend and NetBeans for backend.

Cheers,
