Yes, I know that a question like that cannot really be answered.  But I 
brand new to java GUI design, and I am confused by all the options out 
there for a decent GUI designer.  Worse, most of the info I have found on 
the web is dated.

I gather my choices are NetBeans or Eclipse as far as open source goes.  
I have been using Eclipse for non GUI stuff, so I am comfortable with 
that IDE.  But there are many choices for plugins, and I would like some 
feedback on which ones might be the "best."

Some of what I have read indicates that NetBeans is (much) better than 
Eclipse for GUI deisign, but that was all somewhat dated, so I would like 
an up to date opinion on that.

I greatly appreciate any advice on this subject, and I hope that I avoid 
some sort of flame war for bringing something so subjective up in the 
first place.

TIA,

JB
