    Wich java compiler w/ GUI facilities???

    Hey all, I am trying out java... I Have used so far the compiller i dloaded from sun website wich is called something like SDK-J2SE.
    My house mates use GEL to do some basic programming at college.

    I whent hrough a java book, it's ok... but i don't dare to dive into the hard woring GUI programming. Isn't there any java compiler that enables me to generate GUI automaticaly with drag and drop functionalities? Wich one? I really dont feel like learnig how to use all the graphical objects...
    Thanks

    Eclipse is without a doubt the best java IDE in existance </biased-opinion>
    There is a plug-in called the Visual Editor that allows you to create Swing and SWT GUIs using a drag n' drop interface.
