Who wants to use Java for Development

On this topic, Java Development, someone should write-up a general summary of what all the different components are. I keep seeing several “buzz words” mentioned but have little to no idea what they are (and searching for them just leads one down many rabbit holes).

The items I’ve seen mentioned here and the other thread (WHAT are people moving to or are considering moving to?) are:

  • IntelliJIdea - Seems it is an IDE - Desktop only? Or can it be used for all platform development?
  • JFormDesigner - GUI designer, but WYSIWYG or text-based?
  • Netbeans - Networking libraries?
  • Gluon - No idea
  • Swing - (GUI) framework?
  • Add any others that are relevant
