Butters Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Howdy ho, Was wondering what tools are you using for designing GUI's for scripts? What I already tried was: * NetBeans - very lovely, though who codes in NetBeans? Hate to migrate code from it to Eclipse * Eclipse window builder - Honestly, didn't see something so horrible on such a high scale. Tried other Eclipce plugins, but they were either horrible or added external dependencies when exported as jar (no bueno for OSBot) Didn't try InteliJ solutions though. Maybe it has a lovely inbuilt Swing designer as NetBeans? Comments, discussion and general experience using various tools is welcome. Oh, and writing everything by hand is no bueno, reason being that this is not a university (jk) and might become hell real quick when doing something complex.

However, there are plenty of options, just find the one you like to work with, not the "best" one.

Best way to do it is writing the code yourself though. 1
