user interface in java

[asit]

I am new to java and want to design user interface like the user
interface of Picasa 3. I tried swing and it does nothing more than
menu, button, etc. Can anyone suggest me a java library ????

Swing does a lot more than menus and buttons. Somewhere, I have code
lying around that has a fully-featured map editor written using Swing,
and there are examples of fully-fledged text editors being written in
it, too.

Looking at the Wikipedia screenshot of Picasa, I see a very clear way to
implement it in Swing: you can dump three pieces very easily into a
BorderLayout, and the bottom part would probably be a GridBagLayout. A
very custom-styled tree and table, and for the middle I would probably
use a JEditorPane.

What else do you need in a GUI anyway?

Well, Eclipse framework is quite popular. You can make your application a
plugin for that framework, and use all Eclipses widgets for your GUI.
Netbeans has similar, I think. Those are quite rich libraries.

The Netbeans platform <http://platform.netbeans.org/> will provide
what you need but you may find it difficult to use because it provides
so many functions.
