There are times when you need to display wireframes of your application for internal discussions / presentations etc. Some online applications allow you to draw a wireframe in no time. Here are a few of them
Balsamiq mockups:
Creately:
Fore UI:
Hot gloo:
iplotz:
Pencil: Mozilla firefox plugin based
Axure:
Each application has its own style of doing the mockup. Some use an informal approach. Other advanced ones let you click and see the results then and there. There are other tools out there that also run on desktops and IDEs like eclipse, Netbeans etc if you are looking for an offline solution.
Which of these tools do you use to code in java ? I use myeclipse for J2EE coding and Netbeans for swing UI (which I would highly recommend.). I have worked with workshop as well.

Here are 5 free UML modelling tools you can use. I use the JUDE community version. I found the user interface easy to learn and the product was also feature rich and simple. The products are not necessarily arranged in any specific order and the list is certainly not exhaustive.
Have fun designing
