I need a GUI

Well, I want one for sure. I am tired of the 5 step process I'm using to capture my robot's output and plot it in Excel. Therefore, I'm starting work on a Java application that will plot the PID output, map the path the robot has taken, and allow interactivity with the robot.

A buddy said I should try Netbeans (it's been a while since I did any Java coding but GUI layout was a PITA). With Netbeans I am able to design my GUI and then plug in my processing code. The GUI design is slick. Netbeans also have a nice UI for keeping my code straight and has it's own CVS. Screen shots to come soon.
