[menyki]

use visual.net to develope software, now i want to start using java. i have been able to install netbeans 5.5, my sql and jdk. i have been also able to drag control to jpane. my problems are, i find it difficult to set control properties such as text property, name property and so on. i don't even no how to compile and run programe in java. am just a begginer. i need sombody to tell me how to set control properties, how to run java application on netbeans, how to initialize variables at different levels and how to set a table in mysql. i will be happy if somebody can direct me where i can get resources on java application development

How strange; I was under the impression that Netbeans came with substantial
documentation and online manuals ...
