Thank you Wim for your response.  Unfortunately, I did all of those things.
I created my app via JBuilder, then checked to make sure things were added
as you stated.  My menu is added via JFrame.setJMenuBar.  I created a
desktop for MDI of type JDesktopPane and added it to my JFrame using
JFrame.setContentPane(desktopPane).  I then added my sheet to the desktop
via JDesktopPane.add.  I've also read documentation until I'm blind.  I'm
beginning to think that Java's UI really sucks.
