Can somebody point me to an example "hello world" type java gui
application and the tools to help build one?

Right now, I use java for web applications, but am looking into using
java for a desktop application. I don't really know where to look to get
the GUI components and tools, so any suggestions or good links would be
appreciated.

David,

First you'll need to decide whether you would like to learn Swing
(standard Java) or SWT (UI toolkit Eclipse uses).

Sun has an excellent tutorial for learning Swing online:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/

Information about SWT is available from SWT's homepage:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/main.html

You can use the Eclipse Visual Editor to help you visually design UIs
for both Swing and SWT:
http://www.eclipse.org/vep/

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

Since I'm using Eclipse for the rest of my java stuff, SWT makes a lot
more sense to me.
