Read what you said below and tell me you're not serious:

I have to know how to compile and run my application because for example if I go somewhere and I don't have NetBeans (typically at school) and I have to fix a minor thing about my program, I can edit the source code even with notepad if necessary and recompile it. One more reason is in my previous post.
So what happens when netbeans is not there to build a GUI for you? You're contridicting yourself.


The bottom line: If you can't FIRST build it by hand then don't use IDE generators.
