Using AWT in IntelliJ Idea's GUI Designer?

Question

I've been using IntelliJ Idea's GUI builder recently (I'm new to java) and I want to know if it's possible to use AWT components rather than Swing ones.

Would love a guide/tutorial to get me started as well.

Thanks in advance.

• OpenGL/CL

• CAD/CAM

• 3D animations

• media player

• custom explorer for Html4/5

Would love a guide/tutorial to get me started as well.

Java AWT is outdated and from year 2002/3 replaced with Swing
