#1305 — Best GUI designer (prefer

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
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

Eclipse is compatible with the human brain.

To put that another way, D'n'D GUI produces
horrid, unmaintainable code that is usuall
'locked in' to whatever 'GUI designer of
the minute' was used to write it.

GUI designers also tend to make the simplest
things easy, while getting in the way of
doing anything *beyond* the trivially simple.
