is there a way to create java GUI's in QT?

Do you mean "Is there a way to create QT GUIs in Java?"?

A 'java gui' would use AWT or Swing. Qt is a toolkit for creating GUIs and is written in C++...there may be Java bindings available for it, I don't know.

ahh.. never realized that... let me refine my question, is there a program that will help make a java swing gui?

I'm not aware of any...but creating a swing GUI isn't particularly hard to do in just plain java source code, providing you plan properly and lay your code out well.
There's a swing tutorial on the Java web site. http://java.sun.com not sure where on there, but it's there!
Presumably you can already code in Java?

yes, im just lazy... i can do java swing, but it would just take less time to do it autmated... and there are some programs... here is an example of an eclipse plugin... the only thing is they cost money.. blah

If you want to create swing or awg, GUI's you can download netbeans ide, free!! you can get netbeans along with the java sdk from sun. good look using their site though its a pain in the butt.
