 == What are Java GUI applications?

 A Java GUI application uses the standard Java components GUI component set, Swing, and is deployed to the desktop.

 The Swing GUI Builder in NetBeans IDE simplifies the GUI development process and enables you to visually create Java GUI applications using pre-installed Swing and AWT components.
