java How to set the size of a jframe in netbeans?

[Shammikit]

i have tried going to the properties of the jframe and changing it to my preferred size but it didnt work.i then typed this code and it didnt work either.is there any other way to do this.

 

 JFrame jframe = new JFrame();
    jframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    // set the jframe size and location, and make it visible
    jframe.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
    jframe.pack();

here's an old function I had for making one, you can take bits and pieces of this if needed

public static JFrame makeWindow(int WIDTH, int HEIGHT, String NAME, Color COLOR) {
        JFrame game = new JFrame(NAME);
        game.setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
        game.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(WIDTH,HEIGHT));
        game.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(WIDTH,HEIGHT));
        game.setResizable(false);
        game.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        game.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        game.getContentPane().setBackground(COLOR);
        game.setLayout(null);
        return game;
    }

If I remember correctly, you can use setBounds. i.e.

jframe.setBounds(100, 100, 1024, 768)

Combined with setResizable, you can annoy your users by setting a fixed size but make your life of dealing with the Swing layouts much easier
