Hi Daniel
Also, I feel so painful in making a nice looking GUI. What IDE do you guys use for JAVA GUIs.
You do have a warning in your instructions that all code submitted must be your own and, unfortunately, many IDEs create code that makes it obvious that it is not hand-crafted. Since there are so few GUI components in the
SCJD assignment, I think
you should put up with the pain for this one case - you will certainly learn more (which is the point of the exercise after all

).
But to answer your question, I personally use Eclipse.
Regards, Andrew
