Configuring Window Components in a Netbeans Platform application

Hi, I am developing an application based on the netbeans platform. I want to
use some windows (Window Component) in my application. I have managed to add
them using the Wizard that netbeans has, in the EXPLORER part. I just have
one problem that just can't seem to be able to figure it out. 

I would like to customize the window position in my application so that the
first time that someone runs my application, they see the windows that I
created in a specific position (one on the upper left, other in the upper
right one in the bottom),and  not all of them in the left part. I have
searched both the web and the forums without any success. 

I think this has to be done in some XML file or in the topComponent
configuration maybe, I checked the WindowManager.wswmgr file and tried
putting the following code (generated when I manually move the window
positions of my application), but the result is just the same:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<windowmanager version="2.1">
    <main-window>
  <joined-properties
   x="64"
   y="65"
   width="1152"
   height="894"
   relative-x="0.0"
   relative-y="0.0"
   relative-width="0.0"
   relative-height="0.0"
   centered-horizontally="false"
   centered-vertically="false"
   maximize-if-width-below="0"
   maximize-if-height-below="0"
   frame-state="0"
/>
  <separated-properties
   x="128"
   y="99"
   width="1024"
   height="79"
   relative-x="0.0"
   relative-y="0.0"
   relative-width="0.0"
   relative-height="0.0"
   centered-horizontally="false"
   centered-vertically="false"
   frame-state="0"
/>
  </main-window>
    <editor-area state="joined" frame-state="0">
  <constraints>
  <path orientation="vertical" number="20" weight="0.0325" />
  <path orientation="horizontal" number="40" weight="0.55" />
  </constraints>
  <bounds x="422" y="238" width="537" height="437" />
    </editor-area>
    <screen width="1280" height="1024"/>
    <active-mode name="anonymousMode_3"/>
    <toolbar configuration="Standard" preferred-icon-size="24"/>
    <tc-list>
  <tc-id id="LogTopComponent"/>
  <tc-id id="DataTopComponent"/>
  <tc-id id="ComponentTopComponent"/>
    </tc-list>
</windowmanager>

Any help will be appreciated or a good tutorial on how to do this would be
great.

Thanks and regards.
