Is there any easy IDE that lets you build a easy GUI with Java? I wish you could comply native Java using VS! :P

Either of the "serious" IDEs (Netbeans and Eclipse) is so functional that there's bound to be a massive learning curve. In both cases the first few days are going to be discouraging, but stick with it...

I currently use MyEclipse as my standard IDE.....

Maybe you should have mentioned that earlier.

I use Eclipse Juno with WindowBuilder http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/ - works vey well for me.
If WindowBuilder works in MyEclipse then that would be a good choice.

Is there any special reason why you are using MyEclipse rather than "vanilla" Eclipse?

There is also a WindowsBuilder Pro which was previously a paid product but is now free thanks to Google. Never used it seriously but seems like it handles both SWT and Swing drag-n-drop GUI development and is available as an Eclipse plugin.

EDIT: Doh, beaten by James.
