I developed a small application in Java using Eclipse IDE. Now i want to make UI for that application. Since i don't have much command over JAVA so i am looking for some drag and drop feature. I heard that netbeans provide the drag and drop functionality, but ideally i am looking for some Eclipse plug-in that provides SWING control. Please share if any such plugin exists.

2Just as a radial arm saw is not the same as carpentry, a GUI editor is an aid to craftsmanship, not a substitute for understanding. – trashgod Aug 10 '11 at 02:50
