Which GUI Bilder to use

[Enser Manfred]

Hi, GUI Group

I have a question:
Does anybody know which tool to use to build a swing/ AWT GUI? I can use an
IDE or a stand alone tool which only builds GUIs and does nothing else.

So far I coded it myself (= lot of work). So far I tried some tools, f.e.
Forte (far too slow), Borland JBuilder ( "strange" code"), IBM VisualAge
(very complex tool). Maybe newer realises of that tools work well today.

I need a clean and nice code without extra classes. Can somebody suggest me
a good IDE builder?

Any ideas are welcome.
thank you
Manfred

On my opinion coding the stuff on one's own is always best.
It's hard work, but afterwards good and reusable(!) code with
reasonable variable names.

I haven't found one builder that generates usable code.
Perhaps you've got more luck, but loose too much time in searching,
otherwise you haven't gained anything ;-)

Like the other post in this thread, I think all GUI builders
are bloatware and a compromise.

But java code is poor as well. Its a linear flow to
produce a hierarchical structure.

We do it in XML - an expression much closer to the
objects that a gui is when realised. Please see
