GuiGenie is a new and free Gui Builder for Java (and written in Java). GuiGenie features an intuitive interface that allows you to quickly and easily build GUIs using the Java swing package.
When I developed GuiGenie, my aim was (and will always be) to provide the simplest yet a complete Gui Builder. If you are wondering what to expect from GuiGenie, expect Simplicity! Check the "Why GuiGenie?" section below for more information.
GuiGenie is still in its early stages of development. I'll be pleased if you go to the "contact me" section, get my email and send me suggestions about new features you would like to have in future releases of GuiGenie.
The main reason behind developing GuiGenie is to create a very simple Java GUI Builder. I love to keep everything simple and I hate to see hundreds of useless options.
If you are a beginner, you'll like GuiGenie; you'll get to experiment with widgets and layouts without worrying about advanced features of the Swing package. You'll get everything you need to develop solid GUI applications.
If you are an advanced Java programmer, you might use GuiGenie as a draft for your GUIs. I did it many times. I even used GuiGenie to create some menus and panels in GuiGenie itself.
If you need a sophisticated, fully featured GUI builder then GuiGenie is not for you. You might want to try other, mainly commercial, GUI builders.
First, you need to have Java 1.4.0 or newer installed on your system. You can download Java from Oracle.
Then you can download GuiGenie version 1.0.0 from one of the following sites. Always make sure to virus scan anything you download from the internet. GuiGenie multi platform ZIP archive from Mac Informer (guigenie100.zip; works great on Linux, Mac, and also Windows; as long as you have Java already installed; this is the recommended version to download). GuiGenie Windows installer from Softpedia (guigenie100-setup.exe). GuiGenie Windows installer from Software Informer (guigenie100b-setup.exe; a bit of an older version).
