Graphic InterfaceBuilder for Java on Mac

Thread view: 
abc - 05 Apr 2006 23:41 GMT
I tried a Mac OSX system's Java compiler and InterfaceBuilder.  They were
really nice.  It's just wonderful to define a button and checkbox layout by
moving images around on the screen rather by than counting pixels.  But the
result WASN'T JAVA.  It was some sort of NextStep-ObjectiveC hybrid.

Is there some sort of InterfaceBuilder-type product that generates pure Java?
The idea is to work directly with a graphical layout and get the precise
absolute layout manager code as output.  If it can link up the buttons and
output fields in the skeleton of a class definition as on the Mac, so much the
better.  The bottom line is that whatever code it generates must be able to run
on a pure Java platform.

Is there such a program for Windows?

If this is in a FAQ, just point the way

I have a complete list of IDE's that include drag and drop creation of
Java GUI's at <http://ide.profectus.com.au>. The IBM, IntelliJ and Sun
offerings are not available for the Mac. I think that NetBeans'
Matisse is the easiest to use. Mitch Stewart has review of Java GUI
Builders that includes some form designers in addition to full IDEs
here <http://www.fullspan.com/articles/java-gui-builders.html>.

IntelliJ runs on Macs and has a drag-n-drop GUI builder.
