Why can't I find Java desktop application in Netbeans 7.1

Question

I downloaded Netbeans 7.1 with all bundle from http://netbeans.org/downloads and installed it successfully on Windows 7.

But I can\'t find Java Desktop Application

Answer 1

its better to use NetBeans 7.0 for full support of swing components. many tutorials and guides feature the "Java Desktop Application" (like the ones for JXMapKit : http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/10/30/building-maps-into-swing-app-with-jxmapviewer.html )
