    Just looking up tutorials on making GUIs in java.

    this one is for netbeans IDE, does Eclipse have a similar feature or do you have to download a plugin or something?
    Using both of these IDEs to decide which I like best at the moment. Well I've only used Eclipse and am downlaoding netbeans.

    I don't know of any good completely free ones, Jigloo is free but for non commercial use only. Netbeans is much easier for this stuff and right out of the box too. (Though I still prefer Eclipse generally)

    Eclipse Visual Editor may be worth looking into, it is actually a framework for creating GUI Builders, but I think it also has reference implementations that you can use. Not used it myself so I cannot pass judgement on it one way or the other.

    Netbeans is nice for GUI stuff. I haven't used it all that much for proper development though.

    Could build the GUI stuff in Netbeans and use Eclipse for the rest.

    Oracle's JDeveloper has one, but I can't say how it compares to NetBeans' or any of those that might be available for Eclipse.
