I am using NetBeans 6.1.

When I am trying to create a "Java Desktop Application"-project, a skeleton application is created with lots of WTF code.

How can I understand those code?

Can anyone suggest me any web-link?

In this SO question, some links are provided. But they are not answering to my problem.

Suppose, what is a SingleFrameApplication-class? What is a FrameView-class?Upon what philosophy the application is divided into "MyFormApp.java" and "MyFormView.java" files? etc.

Why is it "WTF code"? Just because you don't understand it?

Did you notice the description at the bottom of the project wizard screen when you create a new Java Desktop Application? It gives you some hints to what you're creating:

Creates a skeleton of a desktop application based on the Swing Application Framework (JSR 296). This template provides basic application infrastructure such as a menu bar, persisting of window state, and status bar. With this template, you can also generate code to create a GUI interface for a database table.

See Swing Application Framework.

By the way, NetBeans 6.1 is old. The current version is 6.9.1.

Can you suggest any book for this?
I don't think there are any books on the Swing Application Framework; there is a JSR for it (so it's a proposed standard) but it's not a completely ready and fully developed framework, as far as I know. The web page that I linked to contains documentation.
