Is it possible for any free tool that is similar to jdeveloper of
oracle by which I can drag
and drop the buttons, labels ect with my mouse? I am talking anything
identical to the
microsoft visual basic application.

I have a very large project in which lot of UI component
of awt and jfc should be coded. Any help. ( if it is OT, pls direct me
to proper NG)

Well, never having used visual basic, I can't comment on "identical",
but two free tools for visual layout are
Netbeans with an integrated GUI designer
Eclipse with its visual editor plugin

If you are running on a Mac, you can also use Apple's excellent
Interface Builder tool to generate Swing interfaces. There's a nice
additional product nib4j that works with it, but it is not free for
commercial use.

Oracle JDeveloper is Free - so what is the problem?

Make sure you read the licence agreement. Oracle is not known as a
generous or forgiving company.
