GUI Builder
The GUI Builder (form module) lets developers visually create
graphical user interfaces (GUI) using AWT, Swing and JavaBeans components. You
might have heard about the project code-named "Matisse" which brought an innovative new approach to developing
GUI forms.
It allows you to lay out components freely, providing visual guidelines for optimal spacing between components
and their alignment, inferring the appropriate resizing behavior - and more. The GUI builder produces the correct implementation
using a layout manager and other Swing constructs automatically in the background,
shielding you from the complexities of Swing layout managers. The result of project Matisse
is part of NetBeans GUI builder since 5.0.
