If you really enjoy developing applications like that, you should go with Microsoft. They're a lot better at making drag'n'drop tools than Sun.

Using "right click" doesn't mean generating the whole application. In this particular case it only generates the set up. However Drag'n Drop does makes absolute sense in cases like "Java Server Faces" or Swing. You could of course use vi or emacs to develop JSF or GWT, but it just isn't efficient.
In bigger projects you need a build system like maven or ant, however my post describes the initial setup for the beginners.
