I'd still teach them the code; I just wouldn't make the write it in the
labs.

Same here -- I'm not saying that I'd teach VAJ in an intro class, other
than showing them how to quickly create a GUI. I'd still show them what
the code looks like and where to look for information, but I'd rather
give them the lab time to work with GUI concepts and Java code for
non-GUI stuff than have them spend all their time writing GUI creation
code (which can take quite a bit of time to write by hand)
