@TechTechnology before migrating check the edit to my answer, migration may bring some headache :) – Phantomazi Aug 26 '15 at 10:03

@TechTechnology: I stated it as an option, I wouldn't call it a "good idea" per se, though. The code generated by NetBeans is crappy, hard to read, and, if your UI has to change later on, a hell to maintain without introducing regression bugs. – Stultuske Aug 26 '15 at 10:37

You can use the WindowBuilder plugin for Eclipe. More info here: https://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/
EDIT: As mentioned in the comment to the other answer, if you do not like WindowBuilder you can give a try to JFormDesigner

Am I wrong, of what you're just showing us is [this](http://www.formdev.com/jformdesigner/doc/ides/eclipse/) plugin, which is also available for eclipse(so the author does not have to migrate all his work. – Phantomazi Aug 26 '15 at 09:58

1here is what the author said :" I want to know if there is a Java IDE with Visual Studio toolbox" he didn't said if there is a plugin for eclipse but thanks anyway I didn't know there is such a plugin :) – L.Zak Aug 26 '15 at 10:03

No worries.. I prefer Eclipse, as most of the plugins or features available to other IDEs sooner or later come to eclipse as well. And because of this you end up with an IDE with loads of possibilities :) – Phantomazi Aug 26 '15 at 10:05
