This is *why* Eclipse is good. If you don't know how to code but you want to write programs, you should be *learning* how to code, not letting a GUI builder create a load of classes for you that you'd then not know how to maintain. Hiding the language from newbies is a bad idea, IMO. Then again, learning GUI elements as a fresh newbie is also a bad idea, IMO. -- Jon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/ If replying to the group, please do not mail me too
