I want to develop an application like Swing GUI Builder where drag and drop of contents over the workspace will be possible.
How to achieve this? Is there any reference available.
This would be a huge task. Project Matisse did a lot of work on this which is now incorporated into the Netbeans IDE. This link is an interview with the person behind the matisse project, and talks about some of the challenges and how the team overcame them. You can use the layout manager they created, and looking through the Netbeans source code would probably give you some idea of how to go about building what you want.
