It's not just Patricia, I find it only takes a couple of minutes to
write a 30-line Swing app to illustrate some problem or it's solution.

I use Eclipse. I'm surprised you find using Eclipse to be so difficult
that you'd not attempt this!

I find using Eclipse to be much easier than using either text editors +
command line or any other IDE I've ever tried.

But I certainly do not find that what you describe takes "a couple of
minutes". Creating a new project and main class with a blank main
method and blinking insertion point, maybe, and even then it wouldn't
be long before my workspace was cluttered with ten billion tiny
projects, all of them for some one-time use. Seems a waste.

Indeed, it would be a waste. That is exactly why I don't do it that way.
I have a project called "tests", with its own directory, just for this
purpose.
