Drag and Drop Java GUI [closed]

Question

I am looking to create a GUI in Java, where I place controls or elements on a left pane and can drag them onto a designer pane, similar to creating a model in Visio.

The current one I'm looking at is JGraphX, it allows you to create graphs etc.

Are there any other projects out there that support this, or tools etc.

Answer 1

WindowBuilder (Swing, SWT, GWT etc.) was a commercial product before Instantiatons was acquired by Google and has been proposed as a new project to the Eclipse Foundation. While you'll certainly always have the greatest flexibility with hand coding (like Aaron suggests in his answer) I have had a lot of great experience with the tool.

The project is in Eclipse Incubation currently, but has been used in production for years. If you want to create a GUI with Drag'n'Drop you should definitely have a look at WindowBuilder.
