Creating a Java Desktop UI which can be understood by Eclipse and Netbeans

Netbeans recently dropped support for Swing based Java Desktop Applications from version 7.1 onwards. Till that point I had always imagined that creation of Java Application User Interfaces would be cross platform. I thought that a Swing UI created in Netbeans designer could be easily understood and edited in Eclipse but apparently now I realize that it is not the case.

Is there a way to make the Java Application User Interface by not depending on IDE-specific Java UI designers? That is a form of UI description, can be XML or something that can be edited on the different IDEs that people would like to use.

That post starts..

OK. You can stop reading there, sounds like JSR 296 which has been dying for years. Pure Swing apps. should be fine.
