I agree to a point Joseph but the original question was which ide would be best for developing a swing application, not which is the best ide. I might be wrong but if you design your dialogs with a chisel and stone, I don't think it generates the swing code for you!

All of them. Even if you recommend IDEA or emacs, you're wrong. An editor is a personal choice. If you're the kind of person who wants to write code, you can do so with a chisel and a stone tablet. If you're the kind of moron who needs code written for you, JBuilder's easy to find... and if JBuilder scares you, there's netbeans, forte, sun forty-three-point-seven. If you're a student, JCreator awaits to screw you up as much as it can. Face it, you can recommend editors all you like, but it's a preferential thing, like saying "Green is the best colour." (By the way, green IS the best colour.) What needs to happen is for someone to make a bullet-list of features, with comments on features. The danger of bullet lists, of course, is that they encourage featuritis on the part of the editor authors. ("Now slices! And dices! Does Netbeans do this yet? We think not! ... and if you know anything about advertising, we just said Netbeans was better than us. Oops.") Ah, to have a world where idiots were muted... --------------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
