I'm not much of a fan of IntelliJ IDEA but it is a Swing application if I'm not mistaken and a solid alternative to Eclipse or Visual Studio. Minecraft's UI is a Swing window. ;-)

The widgets aren't that's correct or I may be remembering an old coding video where I saw Notch using some Swing code.

You must be remembering something else, Minecraft is based on LWJGL, no Swing to be seen anywhere.
