netbeans platform has proved to be most useful for large applications. But what about small applications?

I’m building a small Price-List making software which only has one TopComponent which contains a JTable and a few buttons.

This component I’ve set to have closing/sliding etc disabled as this is mandatory to be there. I also DO NOT want to have ANY more top components.

Is there a way to remove the tabs? It seems pointles to show just one tab with the name of the TopComponent.

I hope you get what I mean!

Thanks in advance.
