Abstract
NetBeans has some impressive capabilities for developing Java GUI applications. First, it provides the Matisse GUI Builder, which allows for what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) design of applications. The GUI Builder includes intuitive, easy-to-use features, such as guides, anchors, and the GroupLayout approach to component layout. When combined with the other NetBeans features, this gives developers a professional coding environment for developing full-fledged desktop applications.
