Does anybody know of a java GUI builder plugin for use with Eclipse
and Mac OS X that uses swing components?

If not what do Mac OS X Eclipse users use to build java gui?

Thanks

Eclipse's own Visual Editor.

Because of a bug in Eclipse, it's not possible to use Swing in Eclipse
plugins on Mac OS X. Therefore, none of the Swing GUI builder plugins
will work on OX X.

But you can use a stand-alone GUI builder.
Or wait until the Eclipse bug is fixed.

Thanks I'll try jformdesigner.

Shame about the eclipse bug and that VisualEditor will not work,
hopefully a future bug fix will sort this.

NetBeans <www.netbeans.org> has on OS X version and comes with a drag
and drop GUI builder.
