What it is

If I understood your question correctly, you're looking for a GUI builder for Swing. Netbeans ships with the Matisse Swing GUI Builder [LINK] which will help you build GUIs easily and quickly. Tutorials aren't uncommon (such as the official tutorial [LINK] or some user created videos on YouTube [this video] ). Some folks are fine with this work flow (since it speeds up development quite a bit). Others want to use custom frameworks and have requirements to use specific layouts in which case I recommend reading about different layout managers [LINK] . Take your pick and happy development! :)

I would recommend using netbeans to start with. From there you can easily select pre created classes such as Jframes. Much easier to learn. You can create a GUI from there by dragging and dropping buttons and whatever you need. Here is a youtube tut to create GUI's in netbeans. [this video] If you decide not to go with netbeans, you are gonna have to create swing containers withing your class to make the Interface.

Running doesn't matter. What I mean is designing UI on editor. You can drag and drop UI component. Check this out. [this video]
