does anyone know a free windows explorer type of project written in java?
Basically i just want to implement a simple windows explorer but dont want to start from scratch with all the drag and drops, icon arrangements and so on.
Thanks
See File Browser GUI.
You can explore common navigator framework for eclipse, it would use swt, jface, draw2d. It provides with drag and drop options.

I need to migrate some swing-based projects in the netbeans, with windows generated by GUI-Builder, to Eclipse, but Window Builder can't generate the screen design by reading .java files created by netbeans.
Is it possible to have the Window Builder render correctly the screens created in the Gui-Builder of the netbeans?
No, it isn't. Using a GUI builder locks the code into that IDE, and that GUI builder. This is one of a number of reasons that experienced GUI developers advise not to use them.
I am not exactly sure but when you go to File there is an option to Export Project. Try that, it could work but again I am not sure. I am new to Netbeans
In my RCP application, I am able to open an editor in Eclipse 4.2 (Juno), but I would like it to open in a separate window by default (that is, to be detached). I don't want to be forced to manually drag and drop it outside the main workbench window.
I wander around classes like IEditorPart, WorkbenchWindow, WorkbenchPage, IViewSite etc. but no luck so far.
Actually, it would be great to be able to embed editor into some dialog window from org.eclipse.jface.dialogs. But I don't think it's possible, as windows (as much as views) and Editors don't go well together.
try looking here
there is an example concerning views but I thik that it can be adapter to your needs
I have created one analogue clock with Java. But i want to make it dock-able in NetBeans IDE (like shown in the screen shot).
like the left side navigator, files, bottom tasks are hidden, once i press it it shows in left or bottom
Any help on this, how can i tell my NetBeans plugin to act like dock-able? After making it working i would like to publish it to the community plugin.
This is not too complicated using the NetBeans Rich Client Platform. Follow this tutorial - http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-paintapp.html#impMod
Basically, you'll create a ClockTopComponent using the wizard. TopComponents automatically get nice windowing features for free, like docking, hiding, tiling, etc.

so overall i can say my application is simple so what should i use javafx or swing for gui?
if any other conveniant option is present please tell me.please give me option which are open source
You could implement it using Swing.
If you want it to be on a variety of devices (desktops, mobile or browsers) then choose JavaFX.
If u require rich look and feel in your application,use JavaFx.Otherwise Swing is also good.
I was wondering how to drag and drop files from a java applet to the desktop. So far i've been able to display all the files with the right icon and name, but I have no clue on how to implement dragging and dropping. BTW I am a noob so it would be great if you could explain things in detail.
I suggest looking at the Java site tutorials:
