I am developing a java swing desktop application with NetBeans and I want to set the JFrame to the centre of the screen.

from the net I understand that I can use 

setLocationRelativeTo(null);

to set the frame to the centre But i am unable to insert the code into the NetBeans IDE because both the frame.pack() and frame.setVisible() are generated codes of the NetBeans 7 IDE and it will not permit any code insertion between the two methods.

I need to to obtain the following :

frame.pack() 
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible()

Any suggestion on how to fix the problem?
