That's encouraging, I thought it was just me. I tried using Forte to do my GUI building but I find the generated to code to be long-winded, the
IDE not using loops and so on. You have to really learn how to use the IDE properly otherwise you hit a brick wall because you cant edit the generated code. I found that learning the IDE reelly well is in itself enough of a burden on top of trying to learn Java.
However I do sometimes find it useful to generate code, for example for the event handling, and then copy and paste the generated parts of the code I like into my program!
