How to develop a graphical application in java?

Question

Java

Good evening. Question from a series of stupid.
I thought that while I was studying, I needed to choose "my" language. After looking at job sites, I decided that Java is the language in demand today. Because I used to learn C#, then there shouldn't be any difficulties in the transition. But I ran into a problem:
When I was learning C#, I needed to write graphical applications. Then I did it through visual studio 2015. I wrote all the logic (scripts) in the code, but I did the creation of buttons, text fields, window sizes in a graphical environment. Really in Java it is necessary to register all elements manually? If there are programs for creating a graphical interface not through code, then please suggest the names.
Now I am learning to write code in Intellij Idea.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid question.

Answer 1

Take a look at JavaFX. And for visual design - Scene Builder

Perfectly integrates with Intellij IDEA

Answer 2

there is also a rather outdated but working SWT
https://www.eclipse.org/swt/
and WindowBuilder for it
https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/

which is built into eclipse - I don't know about IDEA
