I'm trying to learn how to build a basic GUI using Java Swing. Right now I know literally nothing about it but I'm going through this tutorial. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the title: "Learning Swing with the NetBeans IDE." Up till now I thought an IDE was basically just something that you could write and run code within (I've been using Eclipse) Why does this tutorial specifically encourage the use of NetBeans?
Edit: And can I just keep using Eclipse?
Maybe because Oracle owns/creates NetBeans.
https://netbeans.org/about/history.html
Because Netbeans was acquired by Sun (now Oracle). However I suggest you to use Eclipse, as it has the WindowBuilder GUI visual editor, in my opinion the best tool for Java Swing development. The tutorial in the Oracle website however is a good start for a Java Swing novice. Another simple tutorial can be found in here
In a nutshell, NetBeans is owned by the Oracle Corporation and the document you are reading is provided by them as well, therefore it makes sense that the tutorial encourages the use of NetBeans. Yes, you can keep using Eclipse, see the differences/similarities between NetBeans and Eclipse below:
What is the difference between Eclipse and Netbeans if I want to use only the Java in it?

I am learning java for first time. I have found it's very similar to haxe and flash as3.
However, i am also learning android. And in that i have learned that android overwrites many native java libs to improve speed or something.
Now this creates a problem...i am learning java separately because tutorials about android assume you know java. And this means continuing this path will result in me learning it one way and then the right way. Wasting brain...
So can someone clear confusion. Are all libs covered at http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html ...or java in android also support more native libs. How would i know which libs are added/overwritten by android into native libs..
also can you suggest what libs/methods i should know to be not stuck at every step.
By libs i mean packages and methods.
Look here for Android Tutorials and docs, and use the reference you've already found.
http://developer.android.com/training/index.html
You may find it goes smoother if you finish learning Java first. The GUI is completely different from Java, but works well. Some Java Classes from older Android API levels are missing some methods, but that is all documented in the developer reference.
Learn Java, skip the graphical / GUI part and you're fine, I think. You can use almost everything from plain java. There are just minor differences like using threads. But that's nothing to worry about.

Its being a almost 2 months since is started to work with JEE6 and JSF 2.0.
I have to say that in this time i learned lots of things and every day i like the world of JEE6 more and more :)
Now that i understand the very basics the components that i use in my JSF pages, i would like to find some gadget that can help me speed up a little bit my programming(Currently i write all my pages in Eclipse Helios HTML editor).
What i am thinking about is a component palette, plugin for eclipse or desktop software (I dont need a brand new IDE, i already use eclipse Helios) that can help me create a JSF pages within minutes.
Back in college when i started using swing i discovered JFormDesigner it was a really great tool, i was able to create very rich GUI within minutes, it was really easy to use an very intuitive for learning.
I am wondering if is there any tool like that out there, but just for JSF 2.0.
Any suggestions?
You can try and use JBoss Tools.
I used to have all sorts of visual functionality with it - although, some times I tended to do things by hand as it was quicker.
You have the option to install the plugin or simply pay for the IDE: as you probably know, the difference is that buying the IDE you get support from JBoss. Using the open-source version you are getting a version with probable bugs, but workable.
I've been using the open-source version for almost 4 years now and love it.
Good luck!
Inside Netbeans, there is a Palette menu that allow you to create dataTable, edit form ... for entity object in one click. This become very handy for me. Oracle have JDeveloper which, imho, is very awesome. It allow you to create a simple CRUD Java EE web app without even writing a single line of codes. There is a demo on how to use JDeveloper here. Dont forget tool like DreamWeaver can allow you to create rich layout very quickly as well.

Any recommendation on which Java open source helpdesk system i should use ?
i need these criteria
- come with dynamic approval level support for certain request (workflow)
Some of the java basec Open source helpdesk system are
itracker
Java based open source help desk application with an emphasis on modularity. It's also provides i18n support.
JTrac
A Java based open source issue tracking system.
If you want create your own Help desk management system then u can look at Jboss JBPM frame work I have worked on it and done a simple work flow management system using JBPM
Hope this helps !
This is made in ROR but can be deployed in Java with JRuby : www.redmine.org. It's the best free project management/tracking tool I know in my opinion.
I'm not sure, but this may be helpful:
http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/
They have a comnunity open source edition.
You can find additional software here, some of them are in java:
http://www.opensourcehelpdesklist.com/
Open source workflow engines in java:

Are there any decent BitTorrent libraries for Java? I need to program a simple torrent client, but it would be great if I didn't have to write everything from scratch.
Turn's TTorrent is a pure Java bit torrent library.
Snark by Three Rings is a very lightweight bitorrent library that will give you basic torrent features.
Was originally written by Mark Wielaard. A github source can be found here https://github.com/akerigan/born-again-snark
I have created a Bitlet Fork on Github.
It's LGPLed, and it's running faster than ttorent.
Azureus (now named Vuze) gives you a plugin API. Using this API you can plug your code into Azureus. Start it inside your program, and listen/respond to its events.
Azureus is written in Java - is most likely not "simple" but quite likely "decent" :)
Adding to answer from jjnguy : The code seems to be at http://code.google.com/p/snark/ and not in the repo pointed to in the link you've provided.
I've not used it, but a Google search showed up YAIRCC. Describes itself as "A lightweight Java Bittorrent library and client".
Transdroid and Transdroid-desktop are libraries for adroid, that can also be used in java to control existing torrent clients.

I've been digging through Stack Overflow as well as a number of Google searches, and I cannot find a satisfactory code formatter for JavaScript.
I have found several related tools, such as syntax highlighters and pretty-printers, but I am looking for a tool that I can ideally create a wrapper for in Eclipse and simply run from the menu bar. Hence, if any Java-based ones are available, that is a big plus. Free and/or open-source is preferred as well.
I am looking for something that my development group can use to maintain a consistent code style.
Edit: Thanks to kRON for linking to the format customizations page.
Edit: Related question on Stack Overflow.
This is by far the best I've come across: http://jsbeautifier.org/
Available as an online tool, or on the command-line using node.js or python.
The source code is available.
In one breath: Aptana Studio! Yes, it's Java based and free (Eclipse, as standalone or plugin).
You can also customize the formatting.
If you already use Eclipse, I recommend you to try Aptana, you can install it as an Eclipse Plugin.
For Eclipse IDE you can use JavaScript Code Formatter based on Goolge's Style Guide
For IntelliJ IDEA you can use the same js code formatter xml file , but previously you have to install a special plugin Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin, which solves the problem of maintaining a common code style in team environments where both IDEA and Eclipse are used
If you also need Java programming I can recommend 'IntelliJ IDEA'
It offers excellent JavaScript formatting and refactoring out of the box.
Have you tried jsfiddler. It's great for trying things out with Javascript. Built in JSLint & something called Tidy. Not sure whether that infers jstidy Piotr Zalewa is the guy who wrote it. May be worth giving him a Tweet #zalun to confirm.
If you are using notepad++, you can try jsminnpp plugin
