Re: Is Netbeans GUI designer fully made-up of Swing components?

See http://www.netbeans.org where the very first thing you'll see is a bit of text which reads:
"
				The only IDE you need! Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. NetBeans IDE is open-source and free."

So, yes, it is open source and available for use. The open source part doesn't matter so much though unless you mean to extend or copy Matisse and try to make some UI designer. The NetBeans RCP/Platform is a set of libraries you can use to build an application faster. If you are interested in that see:
http://platform.netbeans.org

Thanks, 
Whether NB library is open source? Can I utilize the extension of Swing
components used in the NB libraries?
