Creating and Disposing of a Form's Runtime Frame
To make your form work, you have to provide a runtime frame for it. The main() method for GUI forms takes care of creation and disposal of such frame.
To create a main() method for a form
- Open for editing the bound class of a form where you want to create the main() method.
- Press Alt+Insert.
- On the pop-up menu, click Form main(). The following method is added to the source code:
public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame(" <class name> "); frame.setContentPane( new <class name>(). contentPane ); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame. EXIT_ON_CLOSE ); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible( true ); }
