title: Visual inheritance in Java
body: <p>The team in which I work has been getting problems with the visual inheritance of the forms in the Java platform.</p>
  
  <p>We want to develop a base JFrame with some controls in it and to have inherited forms from that base JFrame. The designer of the Netbeans 6.1 does not paint the controls of the base form in the inherited ones, so we can´t use it in the way we want. In the execution time the inherited forms are well painted, with the parent´s controls.</p>

  <p>Anyone has solved it? Should we change of IDE?</p>
