vaFX plugin but it didn't fix the issue
This is a common problem when using IntelliJ's Swing GUI designer with Gradle. The issue is usually caused by the way Gradle sets up the project structure, leading to the content pane being null.
One solution is to manually set the content pane in your code before using the GUI designer. You can do this by adding a line of code like this in your main class:
frame.setContentPane(new JPanel());
Another option is to try using a different layout manager in your code, as some layout managers can cause issues with the GUI designer.
If these solutions don't work, you may need to consider using a different GUI builder or manually coding your Swing components instead of relying on the IntelliJ GUI designer.
Additionally, make sure that your Gradle dependencies are set up correctly and that there are no conflicts between different versions of libraries that could be causing the issue.
If you're still having trouble, consider reaching out to IntelliJ support or posting on their forums for further assistance.
May I know why you are not using javafx ?
isn't javafx more complicated?
Kinda
i can't understand the FXML thing
is there a designer in intellij for that?
There is a 3rd party called SceneBuilder (that you can also add into intellij yes)
do i need to learn a completely new thing/
are they simmilar?
You do need to learn javafx yes
what is similar to what ?
javafx and swing
just asking if there is any way i can solve this problem
Also note that javafx requires that you at least know java, so you need for example to know lambdas
not really
i know that tks for reminding
I don't have any idea how the ui designer so I can't help you sorry
