Swing Form Editor

Question

I'm a .net developer and I am studying Swing for Java and I have a question.

Is there any way to build the form controls by dragging and drop like a simple .net windows application project or WPF project?

I am using eclipse and it seems that everybody works with controls by adding positioning and width, height by code, I find that a pain in the a**.

Yes! Take a look at Window Builder for Eclipse (install it from the update site). Netbeans has also a built-in editor, if you prefer that IDE.
