How to Brand an Application in NetBeans 6.5

The NetBeans 6.5 application lets you add several forms to your Java software. You use an About form to brand your application and provide a copyright notice and information about your company. NetBeans has a wizard that assists you in creating forms, and you use a label control to display the form's text. The form's code is automatically generated by the NetBeans software.
