Swing GUI Builder:

Professional Swing GUI Building Design Swing GUIs by dragging and positioning GUI components from a palette onto a canvas. The GUI builder automatically takes care of the correct spacing and alignment. Click into JLabels, JButtons, ButtonGroups, JTrees, JTextFields, ComboBoxes and edit their properties directly in place. You can use the GUI builder to prototype GUIs right in front of customers. Intuitive and Customizable You can choose whether the GUI code should be generated with fully qualified or simple class names. The help bar displays context-sensitive hints about what can be done with the selected component and suggests shortcuts that can speed up your work in the future. The NetBeans IDE also comes with built-in support for GUI localization and accessibility. If you use JDK 6 Update 10, you can now preview your forms in the new Nimbus look and feel. Standard and Custom GUI Components The extensible Component Palette comes with pre-installed Swing and AWT components and includes a visual menu designer. Use the Component Inspector to view a component's tree and properties.
