Is it possible to get a good preview of the java swing application without running it over and over again in IntelliJ? whenever I modify code I have to run it again and again so that it looks good. it also generates a bunch of classes which I don't really need since I'm committing to a GitHub repository How do I do this?

I don't know about IntelliJ, but Eclipse has WindowBuilder, a visual designer and development tool that supports Swing. You can install it into a variety of Eclipse releases, I don't think it comes pre-installed in any of the Eclipse packages.

eclipse and NetBeans does have some WindowBuilder future

if you are using eclipse download this

and if you are using Netbeans it does provide a WindowBuilder itself so read this article
