and what they should look like
can anyone help me??

This is not specific to NetBeanse either.

First you have to add a button to a container(It's your choice, you can use a JFrame, JDialo, etc.) On NetBeans adding a button is so easy.

Then add a click even to the button. Simply double click on the already added button. You can see that auto generated click event.

As the final step what you have to do is, execute the browser with the specified URL. This implementation already discussed few times here in our community. Search the forum.

Good luck.
