Windows application design methods?
New to Java I'm having the same problems as others... totally incomprehensible behaviours and jargon. I need to get Windows application made. Is there a graphical, drag&drop layout tool in which I can place 'controls' such as buttons, panels, toolbars onto a window then write the code to respond to them? It seems to be commonplace in other systems.

I suggest that the FIRST skill you learn is how to find information on the internet.
IMHO that is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than any other single skill you might acquire.
The NetBeans IDE is a popular one for Java and The Java Tutorials has trails specifically for it.
For more advanced application work involving web applications Oracle provides JDeveloper.
Oracle JDeveloper - Official Home Page
Both of those products can be freely downloaded.

Look at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/get-started-tutorial/jfx-overview.htm#BABEDDGH
Use JavaFX scene builder to build the windows. Although it's more important to learn how to develop in a OO language. First write the code before you start with designing windows.
