I copied the file from your email into an empty project. Right click in
the file and select "Run File". A JFrame with menu bar (as shown in your
gui builder) was displayed in the upper left corner. To simplify things,
you can click on "Source" in the editor toolbar window, and just display
the source code, then do the "Run File"
There's also terminology issue. NetBeans has an "Output Window" which
you can see at the bottom of your image. I would call the JFrame, that
you want to see displayed, your programs "Main Window".

The output GUI sticks to the NetBeans window. I can’t see the output

The steps of the development are as follows:
1. Add a JFrame Form class by right clicking on the name of the
application
2.Click on the Jframe Form class just added.
3. It would show the Source and Design menu items.
4. Click on the design menu item
5. It open the palette.
6. Click on the swing menus in the palette
7. Drag the 'menu bar' from the swing menu options and put it on top
of the JFrame Form class file. We will see the originalsquare box of
the JFrame form class with the menu bar lying on top of it. Menu bar
has options File and Edut. This process is called adding a JMenuBar to
a JFrame.
8. Next step is to add Jmenus to JMenuBar
9. Drag Jmenu and place it on the File menu. File menu will be
enclosed in square box. This means that the menu has been well placed.
10. Next add JMenu Item to the JMenu
11. Run the application
