[Java] Drag and drop GUI? - Monostable555 - Oct 23, 2016
Hi HF!
As the title reads I’m looking for a program (IDE) to build my GUI in, I’ve tried Eclipse Window Builder but I can’t get it to work. Is there any other tool that you guys recommend?
Thanks in advanced!

You should use JavaFX's Scene Builder.

Try NetBeans, it works for me.

I have only every made a GUI on NetBeans and I dont understand the GUI code, so yea NetBeans is an easy drag and drop, then just edit code to do what you want

This. If I'm not mistaken, Netbeans' GUI builder uses Swing which is deprecated.

I'm willing to bet money that most people don't care that swing is deprecated and will still continue to use it. That being said JavaFX is pretty great but GUI builders for swing seem much easier to use (I don't mean simply placing components, but also adding property listeners and the like).

Eclipse Windows Builder isn't bad.
You can try NetBeans which has best Windows Builder atm.
JFormDesigner is also good but paid.
Or maybe try JavaFx and make sexy GUI's.
