Dear Geertjan, Thanks. It's just that (as I reported in a previous post) I had problems opening my old project in NB 11. I then created a library called swing-layout but didn't give it a classpath - now the project compiles OK even with the missing classpath (not sure how - should it have one?) so I seem to be OK.
But I thought I'd try starting afresh and couldn't find the old New Project - Java. Now I realise I have to select Java with Ant. Sorry for the trouble - getting too old for this sort of thing.

Swing is supported out of the box, NetBeans Platform applications too, which are Swing projects, too.

Do I have to convert to JavaFX (which I'd first have to learn)? Or is it easier just to continue with Netbeans version 8? Thanks in advance, Peter mailto:netbe...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com
