How do you create beans using NetBeans 5.5?

I am referring to http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/nb/index.html and I'm sorry but I can't follow any of this!
I have NetBeans IDE 5.5 and I am trying to learn how to write beans using NetBeans, and the lessons involve things I can't find or understand, for example:
re: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/writingbean/index.html
<blockquote>
Load the JAR file. Use the NetBeans IDE GUI Builder to load the jar file as follows:
1. Start NetBeans.
2. From the File menu select "New Project" to create a new application for your bean. You can use "Open Project" to add your bean to an existing application.
3. Create a new application using the New Project Wizard.
4. Select a newly created project in the List of Projects, expand the Source Packages node, and select the Default Package element.
5. Click the right mouse button and select New|JFrameForm from the pop-up menu.
6. Select the newly created Form node in the Project Tree. A blank form opens in the GUI Builder view of an Editor tab.
7. Open the Palette Manager for Swing/AWT components by selecting Palette Manager in the Tools menu.
8. In the Palette Manager window select the beans components in the Palette tree and press the "Add from JAR" button.
9. Specify a location for your SimpleBean JAR file and follow the Add from JAR Wizard instructions.
10. Select the Palette and Properties options from the Windows menu.
11. Expand the beans group in the Palette window. The SimpleBean object appears. Drag the SimpleBean object to the GUI Builder panel.
</blockquote>
Sorry, you lost me literally after "Start NetBeans", the rest is Hungarian. I can't find "New Project Wizard"; I can't find "List of Projects", I can't find anything they are talking about nor do I know if any of this is relevant toward my learning how to write beans.
Re: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/properties/properties.html
"Inspecting Properties" seems impossible to do because the Inspector Window only shows a closed folder and nothing else ever. I can't figure out this part of the tutorial either.
Can someone please explain this 3rd-grade-level to me: How to create a bean using NetBeans?
Thanx
Phil

Phil,
Before you embark on another very frustrating advanture using NetBeans, please go t hrough the NetBeans tutorial. The "New Project Wizard" is just select from the menu options -- "New Project". The "Hungarian" as you put it will not get better until you spend some time learning NetBeans. Learning something new, like beans, is frustrating enough, but to try to do it and use a tool that is not familiar may be beyond many individuals frustration level.

  • Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

    Hi,
    You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
    1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
    sub-class.
    This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
    This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
    The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
    plan.
    2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
    classes (client or server).
    You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
    also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
    add on class is located.
    If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
    configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
    You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
    GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

    I'm relatively new to forte and I'd like to know how can you handle utility
    type classes that you want to use through out your application? Ideally
    what I want is a static class with static methods.
    Let's say that I have a StringUtil class that has a bunch of methods for
    manipulating strings.
    My problem is that we have code that runs on the client and code that runs
    on the server. Both areas could use the StringUtil class, but from what I
    understand, I have to create StringUtil in a plan and then create a server
    object of type StringUtil. The server object will eventually get assigned
    to a partition. That's not good since I really want the server object to
    physically reside at the server end and at the client end. (Actually, I
    don't want a server object, I just want to invoke a static method of a
    static class).
    Any clues on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Hi Richard,
    Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
    which are important to long-term success with Forte.
    There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
    class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
    TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
    with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
    Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
    developers will write code like this:
    result, num : double;
    // get initial value for num....
    tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
    tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
    result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
    tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
    in places where a C++ programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math::Sqrt(num);
    or a Java programmer would write:
    double result, num;
    // get initial value for num....
    result = Math.sqrt(num);
    The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
    then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
    server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
    processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
    that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
    only when you need the object.
    If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
    instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
    you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
    still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
    The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
    not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
    partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
    the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
    the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
    the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
    you are looking for.
    Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
    methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
    methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
    is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
    partition.
    Summary:
    * You may find everything you want in TextData.
    * Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
    intuitively expect it.
    * To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
    instance when required.
    Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application?

    How do you create a stand alone application using DAQmx when your application SCXI hardware isn't on the computer I am using to create the application? The DAQmx assitant won't allow me to create a task with hardware that isn't in my system.

    You will need to have at least the DAQ device in your computer to add the chassis. When you add the chassis, don't auto detect the modules. You will have to add the terminal blocks and tell MAX which SCXI module will be connected to the DAQ device. Just make sure you don't test the chassis, when its not there.
    I hope this helps.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

    Hi Sherrie L,
    Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
    There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

    How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc. I would like the movie to play on any DVD player.

    Do you want the pdf available to view or just for copying from the disk to a computer for viewing.
    To view a PDF you can do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto which will create a jpg of each page of the pdf and save it to iPhoto.  From there you can send the PDF jpegs to iDVD to make a slideshow of the pages.  It's the same principle as used in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
    If you don't have the Safe to iPhoto workflow in your HD/Library/PDF Services folder you can download it from  Toad's Cellar.

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.
