Visual Studio Comparable IDE?

Hey everyone,

I recently took up C# and really enjoyed using Visual Studio for all of my programming. Are there any similar programs for Java? I've used Netbeans in the past, but VS really raised my expectations.

There is one IDE called Eclipse that has something called WindowBuilder that you can use to create windowed programs more easily similar to Visual Studio. I haven't used it much myself but it's one of the more famous open source IDE's for Java
