Not 100% sure what you are asking here, but couldn't you just read/write from/to a File when you load/save the design?

Are you using netbeans or another IDE? And if so, what? In netbeans you can accomplish this by right clicking the Form (on the listing, underneath where it says the project name->package name->form) then clicking save as template, I believe.

im creating an IDE for swing......
User can drag and drop the various components from toolbox to design area....
i need to save the design as one(may be .form or someother) file and the source as .java file.....
im using jbuilder for creating the IDE....
i think nw im clear.......

You'll need to come up with own format for that, since it's your editor.

This might be helpful. I think the main idea Ezzaral is talking about is the format you save your files in - as in, how the information is stored in each file.

Exactly. It doesn't really matter what format you write to when you save so long as you can read it back again when you load.
