 @JavaBean(defaultProperty="JMenuBar", description="A toplevel window which can be minimized to an icon.") public class JFrame extends Frame implements WindowConstants, Accessible, RootPaneContainer An extended version ofjava.awt.Framethat adds support for the JFC/Swing component architecture. You can find task-oriented documentation about usingJFramein The Java Tutorial, in the section How to Make Frames.The JFrameclass is slightly incompatible withFrame. Like all other JFC/Swing top-level containers, aJFramecontains aJRootPaneas its only child. The content pane provided by the root pane should, as a rule, contain all the non-menu components displayed by theJFrame. This is different from the AWTFramecase. As a convenience, theadd,remove, andsetLayoutmethods of this class are overridden, so that they delegate calls to the corresponding methods of theContentPane. For example, you can add a child component to a frame as follows:frame.add(child);And the child will be added to the contentPane. The content pane will always be non-null. Attempting to set it to null will cause the JFrame to throw an exception. The default content pane will have a BorderLayout manager set on it. Refer toRootPaneContainerfor details on adding, removing and setting theLayoutManagerof aJFrame.Unlike a Frame, aJFramehas some notion of how to respond when the user attempts to close the window. The default behavior is to simply hide the JFrame when the user closes the window. To change the default behavior, you invoke the methodsetDefaultCloseOperation(int). To make theJFramebehave the same as aFrameinstance, usesetDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE).For more information on content panes and other features that root panes provide, see Using Top-Level Containers in The Java Tutorial. In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JFrameon a different screen device. SeeFramefor more information.Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy. Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beanspackage. Please seeXMLEncoder.

setDefaultCloseOperation@BeanProperty(preferred=true, enumerationValues={"WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE","WindowConstants.HIDE_ON_CLOSE","WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE","WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE"}, description="The frame\'s default close operation.") public void setDefaultCloseOperation(int operation) Sets the operation that will happen by default when the user initiates a "close" on this frame. You must specify one of the following choices:
 - DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE(defined in- WindowConstants): Don't do anything; require the program to handle the operation in the- windowClosingmethod of a registered- WindowListenerobject.
- HIDE_ON_CLOSE(defined in- WindowConstants): Automatically hide the frame after invoking any registered- WindowListenerobjects.
- DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE(defined in- WindowConstants): Automatically hide and dispose the frame after invoking any registered- WindowListenerobjects.
- EXIT_ON_CLOSE(defined in- WindowConstants): Exit the application using the- System- exitmethod. Use this only in applications.
 The value is set to HIDE_ON_CLOSEby default. Changes to the value of this property cause the firing of a property change event, with property name "defaultCloseOperation".Note: When the last displayable window within the Java virtual machine (VM) is disposed of, the VM may terminate.
