I am pretty sure, Eclipse does not "convert" XML-Files to GUIs. There are editors/views implemented for specific types of XML-Files you want to edit. In your case, someone implemented an editor for "Deployment Descriptor XML files" (ejb-jar.xml).

This is what you need to do: Think about how a GUI for your specific XML should look like, and implement an editor. Since editors are part of eclipse-plugins, you will end up implementing an eclipse-plugin for your use-case.

You can find a lot of information about eclipse plug-in development (PDE) on the web.

  • As per your answer I understand: It is part of eclipse plug-in development (PDE). Am I right? – Premraj Mar 06 '15 at 15:50

    What I wanted to say is, that you will have to program a plugin for eclipse. That plugin contains an Editor ("GUI") that can handle your XML-files (all done by yourself). So you will have to deal with eclipse plugin development in order to write your plugin. – Christoph Giesche Mar 06 '15 at 16:39

The ejb-jar.xml editor that you referenced was built with a framework called Sapphire.
