Hi,

I'm looking for a best IDE for developing swing application.

Our application is a Rich Desktop Client Application which will have more than one hunderd screens. And all the business logics will be J2EE EJB services.

At the initial stage, we thought of using the .net winform technology as Desktop Rich GUI for its best look & feel and productivity perspective, by invoking the business services thru webservices.

But later, we decided to use swing components which are somewhat promising now-a-days. This will avoid the multi-platform issues, maintainability and perfomance difficulties.

I would be so much grateful, if somebody could share me their experience on deciding the IDE which would be the best for Swing development currently.

If any one has the list of different swing UI builder IDE and the feedback list correspondingly, could you post them?

The "best" IDE is going to be a matter of taste, to some extent.

If your main concern is the development of Swing based GUI's, then Netbeans would be an excellent choice.
