I could not use JInternalFrameForm in Netbeans.
I did right click on my package and go new but I did not see JInternalFrameForm option.
The right click New menu only shows you options you have commonly used, or only several default options if you haven't used any.
to find JInternalFrameFrom, select the Other Option on the bottom of the options,
Then type in JInternalFrame in the search box of manually find the component inside the Swing GUI Form folder.

Right now I am working on a GUI application In java using the GUI builder that comes with NetBeans.
However I have found some kind of strange bug/feature, as I am no longer able to see the window that allows users to change between "source" and "design" (Design is the drag and drop NetBeans gui builder while source is the code where you can add your own methods and so forth).
NOTE: the red is censored information that is not necessary.
When I right click on a component to add event code, then it takes me to the source (without a window for me to change back to design, it goes back to design when i close and reopen it). So I know that NetBeans recognizes that this is indeed a JFrame form with the NetBeans GUI designer, and the source code is indeed availible..
I could not find any answers to this question on this site or on the web, I have tried resetting the windows but it did not work, I also couldn't find the window when I clicked on the window option. I am sure there is some easy question but I am unable to find it. Please forgive me if this was an easy question.
On the menu bar, try clicking View -> Show Editor Toolbar
I need to add a popup menu to the JFrame, but when I drop that component there it just dissappears. I can see it in code, but there is no way to edit anything about it. Is there a way I can edit it like say menu bar?
I use Netbeans 7.2.1 if that is important.
PS - Yes, I tried googling and found only this, but it is not helping...
Okay, I figured it out by myself.
Open Windows -> Navigation -> Navigator it will show a navigator window with all components currently on jFrame.
In that navigator window then click Other components.
In there all non visual components including jPopopMenu will be listed.
By clicking on any of these components it is possible to edit their properties.
Editing the popup menu visually is possible by double clicking on it. It will then bring up visual menu builder.
First off I am using Intellij IDEA's GUI tool.
I have a window that has a browse button, if the user clicks the browse button they can explore their computer for an image file. If they choose an Image file then the window will add that image to the screen next to the previous image, If the window just barely shows all the images and the user adds another one, I want the window to expand to be able to show the new image.
Does Java Swing have this capability? If so, how should I go about implementing it?
If you are using appropriate layout managers, you can simple call Window#pack.
You should also consider checking out How to use scroll panes, cause I have some very large images...
The other thing you can look at is the Scrollable interface
I have to develop a simple breadcrumb control using SWT which shows hierarchy of the system folders opened so far in a bar at the top and all the folders present at the current location in a window below. Folders should be hyper linked so one can click to move into them further. From where should I start?
As for the visual part, you can use the Breadcrumb widget from the Opal project.
It looks like this:
To handle selection, just add a SelectionListener to each of the BreadcrumbItems.

I've recently installed window builder plug-in on my Eclipse IDE. When I create a New project and add window builder or anything, I'm unable to drag even a button from the palette.I might be dragging it the wrong way or there might have been something missing in the path etc. Does anyone know the solution to it? It'll be highly appreciated. Thanks!
What do you mean by "I'm unable to drag even a button from the palette" - is the palette not responsible to mouse events?
Try creating File->New->Other and selecting Window Builder->Swing Designer->Application Window. Switch to Design tab.
Basically you don't drag components/layouts to the graphical view of your window. You should select for example JButton by clicking it first. Afterwards you click (second time) on the window.
