Hi.

I have not used java since my first year of university so i am a bit rusty, I want to know if there is some kind of drag and drop IDE i can use to create GUIs, coding events and rest will be easy enough as I am comfortable with c/c++ but i dont want to spend 10 000 years trying to figure out layouts and all that when i need to create a GUI. I have looked on the oracle website and it has nothing on it that seemed to be what I want and parts of the website "are under review" what ever that means

NetBeans IDE allows you to drag and drop things but I consider this cheating.

Eclipse does not allow you to drag and drop things (you have to write all of the code yourself) but I consider it to be a better IDE because it fills in code for you as you go along, for example, if you were to type "public void init()" as you type in the ( bracket, it would automatically type the ) bracket.

I havent used NetBeans but I think a lot of people use it.

It is possible to do so in Eclipse with a plugin like DC has stated.

No, sorry, what I meant was that, I feel the whole "dragging and dropping" thing is kinda cheating. But I'm not overall surprised that someone has made a plugin for it in eclipse. :D
