Why can't I find Java desktop application in Netbeans 8.0

I downloaded Netbeans 8.0 with all bundle from http://netbeans.org/downloads and installed it successfully on Windows 8.

But I can't find Java Desktop Application which should be under Java category when add new project as 6.5 does.

Where is it? Or what is the substitute one in 8.0? I need something to create GUI by dragging components.

Thanks

Can I create a desktop application in NetBeans?

The NetBeans IDE is open source and is written in the Java programming language. It provides the services common to creating desktop applications -- such as window and menu management, settings storage -- and is also the first IDE to fully support JDK 6.0 features.

Why does NetBeans not have Java Web?

You need to have the right plugin installed: Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins. Click on the "Available Plugins" tab. Check the box for "Java EE Base" (on older NetBeans versions the plugin is called "Java Web Applications")

Desktop GUI Applications of Java AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) is an interface used to develop window-based applications in Java. It is “not totally Java-based” as it uses window user interface functionalities such as a menu, button, list, etc.

You can still use Netbeans GUI components in 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.
