[FIXED] Netbeans - Design view not available

Issue

I'm following a tutorial on using SOAP web services and for this i must edit my file WelcomeSOAP.java using design view, however design view is not available, only the 'source' and 'history' views are on the bar to the top; also if i go to view > editors they are the only two options. I have come across this question:

Netbeans design view?

However, both my laptop and computer are running netbeans 7.4 and the design view is available on my desktop, but I need to be able to use it on my laptop too. Does anyone know how to enable design view?

EDIT:

I have tried deactivating and reactivating the GUI plugin, and also re-installed netbeans, both of which did not work for me.

Solution

Open Java Application, then right click on "Source Packages" - "New" - "Other" - (Categories) "Swing GUI Form" - (File Type) "JApplet Form"

Job Done.......

(I tried thin with 8.0.2)
