Java Desktop Application with Netbeans-8.0

Create a normal Java Project:

1. Select “New Project” on the “File” menu.
2. Select “Java”
3. Select “Java Application”
4. Fill out the required data and finish.

Once the project is created:

1. Right click in a java package and select “New”, then “Other” at the bottom of the menu.
2. Select “Swing GUI Forms”

Then choose the file type (JFrame as an example).

Netbeans will load the GUI tools for you at that moment.
