Usually for frames you would call pack() right before calling setVisible(true). This would make the frame a small as possible with all the components still nicely sized. If you want to specify a size yourself, that is fine too. The UI designer assumes people are using pack() unless it finds a setSize(new Dimenion(width,height)) propertySetting in the JbInit method. If you add the setSize call, the designer will honor and update it as you re-size the frame in the designer. If there is no size property setting, the designer just remembers the size of the form for the next time you bring it up in the designer. If you do add a setSize call, just make sure that it has one Dimension parameter instead of two integers.
