When doing Java JFrame design, I need to edit the font size and font type manually each time drag and drop from the Swing palette. The default font of Java Swing components is Tahoma 11 plain.

What I want is the font size and font type to be set to Tahoma 15 plain when I drag JTextfield and then JLabel. So I don’t need to change manually anymore.

Adjusting the UIDefaults is one way. Another is to design a pluggable look & feel.
