Hey There,

I have wrote some java code below (using NetBeans IDE 6.0.1) for a
graphical user interface. When I open the JavaApplication7 Executable
Jar File from the JavaApplication7 Project Folder I created (C:
\JavaApplication7\dist\JavaApplication7.jar) to run the interface.

I notice that the text fields and the text area seem to jump downwards
a little, does anyone know what might be the cause of this?

This is the code:

package newpackage7;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
//import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class NewClass7 extends javax.swing.JFrame{

   public NewClass7() {
       //prolog.loadProlog("",0,1);
       initiateComponents();
   }//end constructuor NewClass7()

   //declare interface properties
   //public final LpaIS prolog=new LpaIS();
   /*public String GlobalCheckSyntaxFile="";
    * public String GlobalEditFile="";
    * public String GlobalLoadFile="";
    * public final LpaIS CheckSynatxProlog=new LpaIS(); */
