[Java-gnome-developer] GUI Building Differences

Hi,
This might seem like a dumb question, but I thought it would clarify
things for me :)

I use Eclipse for the development of course, and I use the nice plugin
that's available. Now, this plugin can create either a gnome-app or a
glade-app.
Now I've not much experience with gnome development at all, but I have
been poking about in glade. So with glade, you can create a gnome
project, or a gtk project. Is this related to the differences in java-gnome?
I thought it was excellent to be able to build interfaces with glade.
However it appears as though (based on the documentation on java-gnome
web site) that using glade is not the main method - or even that using
glade will not tie in with development based on java-gnome.

I guess I'm asking if there are really two distinct and separate
approaches - plain gtk using glade for example, and gnome that has to be
coded completely by hand?

One of the things that I thought was great (and missing from java dev
land) is a good gui builder, and glade provides that, lets you define
your signals etc. But I get a feeling that java-gnome is down a
different path than what is provided by libglade??

Thanks.
