What I do usually, using the Designer, is to use a JPanel for the
JDesktopPane. Then in the code, simply change the object itself.

Example

public class MainFrame extends JFrame {
//change the following from JPanel to JDesktopPane.
/*JPanel jdtPane= new JPanel(); --original Code */
/* new code */
JDesktopPane jdtPane= new JDesktopPane();
JMenuBar mnuPanel= new JMenuBar();
JPanel   statusPanel= new JPanel();

public MainFrame() {
 try{
  jbInit();
 }
 catch(Exception ex) {
   ex.printStacktTrace();
 }
} 
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
 this.getContentPane().add(mnuPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
 this.getContentPane().add(jdtPane, Borderlayout.CENTER);
 this.getContentPane().add(statusPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);


 
Notice that I only needed to change the JPanel for jdtPane in one place, the
JPanel jdtPane= new JPanel to JDesktopPane jdtPane= new JDesktopPane().

That will do it for you!!
