JTabbedPane for Netbeans Desktop Application

If any desktop application created in netbeans is using several tabs. Then each time the application is started, it will show the last selected tab. Even , by initially calling setSelectedIndex(int index) methodof JTabbedPane wont work. To resolve this issue following steps needs to be followed :Go to the class which extends SingleFrameApplication (,i.e,having public static void main).Update the overridden method shutdown() by selecting the default tab before super.shutdown() is called.

Writing resource file (I18N)

  • "\\" stands for "\"
  • "\n" stands for the newline character, U+000A
  • "\t" stands for the horizontal tab character, U+0009
  • "\ " stands for the space character, U+0020
  • Lines whose first non-whitespace character is "#" are comment lines and are ignored.
  • "\#" stands for the number sign character, U+0023.
  • This is only needed if a line within a heredoc string starts with this character.
  • Lines that contain only whitespace characters and are not part of a heredoc string are ignored
  • Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed from both key and value
