Java Forum / Tools / January 2005Eclipse, sick, dying, dead, or am I missing something??
I learned about Eclipse as an open source, fairly platform and language neutral development IDE about 8 months ago and was very intrigued. Now I'm in a new job and was trying to introduce Eclipse as a tool that we can use. Unfortunately it now seems that there are no good GUI (Swing or SWT) development tools (one of the main reasons to use an IDE in my opinion). What gives? Is this thing going anywhere or should I just go back to the ever buggy NetBeans?? I hope I'm just missing some major plugin that everyone's using. > I learned about Eclipse as an open source, fairly platform and language > neutral development IDE about 8 months ago and was very intrigued.

Take a look at WindowBuilder (composed of both SWT Designer and Swing Designer). It provides complete support for creating Swing and SWT applications as well as Eclipse plugin UIs and RCP apps. http://www.windowbuilderpro.com/ Note that WB is a commercial tool (lower cost NC and academic licenses are available). A free, feature-limited edition is also available as is a time-limited eval version of the entire product (for Eclipse 2.1, 3.0 or 3.1). http://www.instantiations.com/swt-designer/download.html -Eric Clayberg Sr. Vice President of Product Development Instantiations, Inc. http://www.instantiations.com http://www.swt-designer.com Author: "Eclipse: Building Commercial Quality Plug-ins" http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0321228472 try visual editor plugin in eclipse project.
