How do I install Swing UI Designer after initial setup?
When I originally set up up IntelliJ IDEA, i did not select the Swing UI Designer. I would like to try it out now, but I cannot figure out how to install it. I cannot find it in the available or installed plugins in Preferences. I'm probably just not recognizing the name. (I assume is not installed because I do not have the File | New... "GUI Form" option on the popup menu, per https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-opening-forms.html)
Can someone suggest how I can install it?

Hi Pete,
The GUI Designer tool in IntelliJ IDEA is innate, the plugin for it is bundled with the IDE.
You can find the tool's settings under File | Settings | Editor | GUI Designer.
In IDEA 2020.1, you need to navigate to the File | New | Swing UI Designer menu option first in order to see the options for adding a new GUI form or Dialog class.
The corresponding documentation page will be updated accordingly.
Arina, thanks very much for your very quick reply.
I don't see that option when I go to File | New. That's why i thought perhaps it was because I maybe disabled the plugin during initial setup. Here is my world
Arina, again, thanks for your detailed response. I missed your first graphic with the plugin location. I have enabled it, and now I see the menu item.
:)
If you don't see the plugin among the installed, try disabling all custom non-bundled plugins and restarting the IDE using the File | Invalidate Caches / Restart option. If you still don't see it, please collect the idea.log file (Help | Show Log in Explorer) and send it over for analysis.
My apologies Pete, I made a couple edits to the response after it was already posted.
And you can happily disregard my last comment since the issue is resolved :)
