Java Applets

i have been learning java for past 4 months until i saw 3 chapters on Applets with some exercise problems. Applets are easy but can get very complicated. my question is if there is any IDE for java applets where we can draw what we need and it does the coding by itself like Frontpage2003. i tried to google and find some applet tutorials but all of them teach you basic like in 2 or 3 chapters. and all they have used is graphics.(gr,drawOval, Rect, color.red, etc).

Thanks

There are gui builders. But I would suggest you only use them to speed up your production of code not replace it. If you use a gui builder and don't understand what is generated (how to do it on your own). Then you are going to have problems in the future if you ever have to maintain or debug.

Thanks for the reply. i will search on google and try to see if i can find any gui builders for free. how a person will run into problems if he knows what the coding does. you are rite about the speed i know all html commands but i use frontpage to make a website and later on if i want to make any changes in the coding i know which part of <body> or statement to look. anyways thanks for the advice. any good tutorials on java applets which goes from beginners to advance ?

I assume you are using Swing, in that case: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.htmlAlso, if you are sure you want to use a GuiBuilder. NetBeans includes one that I think a lot of people use. But there are also free plugins for other IDEs.
