I'm looking for a JAVA IDE and recently started reviewing the ones
that are available. From what I gather the IDEs are great for
organizing code and using pretty dialogs for managing object properties
but I don't see a key feature that I want:

the ability to use a design screen to make template user interfaces in
a GUI format. I want to be able to design an interface but point and
click widgets onto a blank canvas and I don't see this level of
functionality.

Do the IDEs generally allow this level of design, or more specifically,
does eclipse provide this level of functionality?

Must I pay the big bucks for jbuilder to get what I want?
