Yeah I think so.  Any Google search will help you out with that.

Er, I hope you don't mean literally use the "desktop application" 
project type from NetBeans.  That thing is broken, and frankly seems 
abandoned by Oracle.

Use the regular old "Java Application" to make GUI apps.  You'll be much 
happier.


> Button events are handled in routines inside this view class. Thanks.


Button events should be handled by a controller, which should be a 
totally separate object.  If you're using GUI builder to make those 
methods, you might want to use the small little methods to dispatch to 
another object, your controller.

But I think it might be better just to let your controller add an action 
listener to the button itself, and let the dispatch inside the button 
handle it.  Of course, you'll have to write code to accesses the buttons 
action listeners, so it tends to be six of one and half dozen of another 
for actual code writing.

Again, a Google search for MVC will help you out.
