Thanks for your reply. I am new new to linux.
Good. Welcome to the FOSS world. Please spell proper names with a
capital like Linux and not linux.
Without Swap Partition OS Works all functions?
Yes, If you have enough System RAM for the "all the functions" you
want to use. DLink and Linksys ADSL routers use embedded Linux and
they do not have any swap space allocated.
Flash memory (pen drive) has a limited number of write operation
(usually in the range of 500K or so) and creating a swap partition on
a pen drive will toast it within a few minutes.
and also I want to use NETBEANS IDE, without swamp partition
Pay attention to your spelling it is swap and not swamp :)
Again, it depends on how much system RAM you have. I have 6 GB RAM
and even though I have allocated swap space, it is hardly ever used,
even when I am running a few virtual machines with 256MB each.
it is possible, what is the use of swap partition?
It is similar in function to pagefile.sys in the other OS. Here is a
good explaination of swap

But really you can answer such questions for yourself by Google
search.
