I am making a GUI in netbeans. I have a button and when users clicks it i want to popup a jframe. How is this possible? could someone give me an example?
Are you programming a NetBeans RCP application?
If so then take a look to the Dialogs API: http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-dialogs/index.html?org/openide/NotifyDescriptor.html
If not, give a try NetBeans RCP can improve the code quality and modularity of your java desktop applications.

I am using IntelliJ for java application development using swing . It is difficult to manage content using layout manager. So, is there is any facility to make drag and drop features like in visual studio for vb.net...
You can use IntelliJ's GUI designer
JetBrains website has some resources detailing how to use it:
Designing GUI. Major Steps
Creating and Opening Forms
GUI Designer Basics
Components of the GUI Designer
There are also several walkthroughs available on YouTube
Here are a few screen shots showing how to launch/display the designer:
The designer:
As far as I understand, SWT is the GUI building block for Eclipse IDE.
And in Eclipse, we have a concept of "View" widget, such as the following example:
The "View" widget can be docked, minimized, maximized, and can also be made floated.
I think it will be useful for my project, but unfortunately can't find it in the standard SWT Widget shown here http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/
How to create this widget in SWT? Can I just extract it from the SWT library. Or perhaps, it is shipped as extension to SWT?
I have created an Eclipse RCP application. I want to read an input from the user when the program runs. How can I do that? Please any one help me with a sample code.
Thanks in advance.. :)
As long as you application is not headless: we usually use dialog windows to capture user input. eclipse RCP/SWT has some dialog classes, it's quite the same as doing it in swing.
For an easy start: JFace's InputDialog (available in eclipse RCP applications)

Is there any Eclipse Plugin tool(s) who can help to create Graphical User Interface for (swing, awt or swt), because I'm tired of writing everytime the code of Panels, Labels, ...
Thanks
Yes. Use WindowBuilder Pro (provided by Google). It supports SWT and Swing as well with multiple layouts (Group layout, MiGLayout etc.) It's integrated out of the box with Eclipse Indigo, but you can install plugin on previous versions (3.4/3.5/3.6):
There are lot of GUI designers even like Eclipse plugins, just few of them could use both, Swing and SWT..
WindowBuilder Pro GUI Designer - eclipse marketplace
WindowBuilder Pro GUI Designer - Google code home page
and
Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder - eclipse market place
Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder - home page
The window builder is quite better tool..
But IMHO, GUIs created by those tools have really ugly and unmanageable code..
Yes, there is one. It is an eclipse-plugin called Visual Editor. You can download it here
try http://code.google.com/p/swinghtmltemplate/
this will allow you to create gui with html-like syntax

Also consider the features in java.awt.Desktop.
You can execute external programs in Java with Runtime.getRuntime().exec().
