How to create a Desktop Application? I have not found useful information

[rgacitua]

Hi:

 I am so a  new user of Netbeans 6.0, so I'm sorry for this question. I I have not found useful information to solve my doubts.

 I would like to create a application, with a GUI similar to Netbeans. This should include tabs, menu, splits, and editors, lateral tabs, etc.

 I created a Desktop application example by using the template provided by Netbeans 6.0 (Project -> Desktop Application). However, this has not tabs, or other objects.

 How Can I create the same structure (menus, tabs with close button, splits, etc.). Where those objects  come from?

 Has someone a small example to learn from it, please?. This could be a good help.

 Thank you very much in advance
