Java GUI IDE

[Michael42]

Hello,

Yep, I love my vi like most UNIX heads but was wondering if there was if any of you could recommend an IDE tool that will generate SWING code?

Continuing on this theme, are there any IDEs like the one used in Visual Basic but for Java?

Thanks,

Michael42

There are a few more: JDeveloper, JBuilder, NetBeans ... but I also recommend Eclipse.

Btw, I like emacs

Cheers,

I only have experience of Eclipse and JBuilder. I much prefer Eclipse on most matters but for Swing / AWT code generation I prefer JBuilder. It seems less 'clunky' to me. Having said that, the plugin that Eclipse uses for this may have improved greatly since I last tried it (~2 years ago).
