Begin this practice during the class. Try to clear out all your questions about graphical user interface (GUI) editing. You may finish it after the class.

The Visual Editor (VE) is an Eclipse plugin that allows the building of AWT/Swing applications with a complete WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. If you don't have the plugin you can download it from the Eclipse site.

First of all, go to the File menu and choose New -> Other... -> Java -> Visual Class. This will create a Java class and open the visual editor. Name it HelloVisualEditor and choose the JFrame as it's superclass.

Now you can see the Design area, the components Palette, the JavaBeans viewer and the Properties panel. In the Design area, select the content pane of the frame you've created and change it's layout property to null. Using the Swing Components, create a label that displays the text "Hello World!" and a button to kill the application. You can do it using drag and drop.

To assign the button an event you must add an ActionListener to it. Do this by clicking with the right button of the mouse over the component and selecting Events -> actionPerformed. Go to the source code and change the action to System.exit(0).

Set the visible property of the frame to true and create a new instance of the class in the main method. Save and run the program.

Present in your report the source code and a screenshot of the application.
