How do you open a project in design view in Eclipse? If I have an existing project in Java that has windows and Frames it is easy to use Open With... but I want to start a new form with design view. I know that this is possible in Eclipse because I am 90 percent certain that I have seen this done before.

I have right clicked and looked under New (where all of the class and other material can be opened, such as a new class, new project,...).

    You may be thinking about [WindowBuilder](https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/) – greg-449 Feb 14 '14 at 15:09
  • does this have to be installed or does it come automatically with Eclipse download? – Doug Hauf Feb 14 '14 at 15:31
  • I believe it depends on the exact download, some have it installed others don't. – greg-449 Feb 14 '14 at 15:36
  • Does it just show up in the area where you can select class, package, or those options under new? – Doug Hauf Feb 14 '14 at 16:46
  • I don't use it, have a look at [Quick Start](http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.wb.doc.user%2Fhtml%2Findex.html) – greg-449 Feb 14 '14 at 17:10

It may be too late but it's under the text editor of the class that you created with WindowBuilder. picture
