Java, Netbeans and GUI Builders

It’s been a while since I did anything in Java and since I haven’t used Netbeans to build a GUI before, I set about building a quick Java Swing styled, Game puzzle prototype (No 3d or OpenGL). I think I nearly pulled my hair out at how difficult it is the do anything in Netbeans, Coding is fine, but I have some serious issues with it’s ‘rigidness’. It felt wierd programming Java, it’s been C#/Delphi for so long now.
