Now I know this all seems neat, but how about we hit the big stuff? If you go and install netbeans, create a new project, and then a new JFrame file, you have the ability to create much better GUI applications, much faster. You see, netbeans has a drag and drop GUI creation feature, so you can create awesome looking applications easily. And the best part is, with the new update, a special look and feel is used, called Nimbus, and it looks great. So for this chapter I would just like you to go and get netbeans, and try to create a GUI with it. Don't worry about coding it, I'll cover that in the next couple of chapters.
