Java GUI Compilers


Question

Are there any good free Java Compilers that let you create GUI's and Frontends in Java much like a Visual Basic - Drag and Drop fashion?

I know that JBuilder has this feature but it's not free and very Borland orientated.

Any one know of any good free GUI creators?

    • Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is by Sayan Sen Back in March earlier this year, a new redesigned Microsoft Account sign-in was released with the intention to make it "more modern, simple, and secure." Microsoft also probably hopes that the revamp will help win some hearts since many dislike the Microsoft Account (MSA) quite a bit as they are forced to use the service during Windows 11 installation. Yes, signing in to the MSA is one of the several system requirements for Windows 11, and it is also the recommended way and it clearly does not like it when users opt for a Local account instead. Microsoft often highlights the benefits of an MSA as it points out the unified access users get across devices and services like Windows, Office, OneDrive, and Xbox, which can help in synchronization of files and settings for convenience. A Microsoft Account also stores the BitLocker encryption key which is crucial thing that all users who have encryption need to store securely. Back in May this year, we covered reports of users losing their data as a consequence of BitLocker key loss, and this is a real danger for many, given that Microsoft now enables automatic BitLocker encryption on Windows 11 24H2, that most users won't even be aware of. So in the case of loss of access to a Microsoft Account, an affected user can suddenly find that they have lost all their data and there may be no way to recover it according to Microsoft's terms. Such account lock-outs can happen as a Reddit user deus03690 found out. The frustrated user claims that Microsoft apparently "randomly" locked their account when they were dealing with multiple data drives. They explain: The user has good reason to be annoyed and frustrated at this, Microsoft's own official guidance about the Account lock says: "If you tried to sign in to your account and received a message that it's been locked, it's because activity associated with your account might violate our Terms of Use." The Terms of Use for MSA explain how Microsoft deals with a closed account. It states: Thus, this shows how users can be pretty much helpless if they get locked out of MSA or lose access to it. It also shows how over-reliance on cloud services on Windows 11, something which LibreOffice recently pointed out, can lead to additional data nightmares like losing all of your data due to forced BitLocker encryption that you may not even be aware of was there in the first place. The solution? Better keep your important data backed up locally on internal or external HDDs and SSDs as only cloud storage is probably not the best decision.
    • I don't know, I haven't checked what changed in previous sockets. I agree that the 1156-1155-1151 succession was suspicious, with a reduction in pin count every time. Intel could do a better job of pre-allocating pins for future use. Another hypothesis is that the internal layout of their CPUs change, like the I/O is moved from one place to another on the chip, and they need to reorganize pins rather than having circuitry go into spaghetti mode to remain compatible. I agree that if AMD is able to maintain compatibility, Intel should be able to do the same, at least by reserving pins for future use and then using those pins when a need for them arises. However, I wouldn't say that AMD's products are entirely better. Intel's I/O now slightly edges out thanks to having double the bandwidth to the chipset and dedicated Thunderbolt lanes to the CPU. It seems that they could widen their lead with the next platform. NVMe SSDs have increased the need for PCIe lanes significantly, and AM5 has been pretty underwhelming in that regard, especially because the chipset connection is so narrow and gets saturated with just 1 gen 4 SSD, leaving the other chipset connectivity (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, audio, etc) to hope for any remaining bandwidth. Otherwise motherboard manufacturers could also make more x2 M.2 slots, those would be fast enough at gen 5 speeds and possibly at gen 4 speeds too.
