I faced the same issue, it was apparently a bug from WindowBuilder. Is fixed in the upcoming version 1.9.8. You can use it if you want.

Found details here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=572210 https://github.com/eclipse/windowbuilder/issues/45

Either your Java Class File does not extend a JFrame, or you do not have a JComponent. To fix this, make sure that your Java Class File deals with JFram, JPanel, or JComponent. To make such class, create a JComponent class using this.

enter image description here

Otherwise, reinstall your Windows Builder.

  • I did extend my class to jframe and still it's showing the same, program is working but now showing in the design tab. – Jay Sabnis Apr 29 '21 at 09:58
  • I reinstalled window builder thrice, also installed the new 2021-06 m1 eclipse, and installed the required software again, but it is showing the same. – Jay Sabnis Apr 29 '21 at 10:01
  • Have you tried creating an application window (or JFrame) and editing the layout from there? – codingClown Apr 29 '21 at 10:05
  • Also make sure that you are reinstalling windows builder from the Eclipse Marketplace. – codingClown Apr 29 '21 at 10:08
  • Did Both of those things, still not working – Jay Sabnis Apr 29 '21 at 15:22
  • JFrame and application programs works, and also the frame is created but they are not editable from window builder (design tab)editor, they can be edited only using java editor – Jay Sabnis Apr 29 '21 at 15:23
  • Maybe the Eclipse version is at fault (where in that case, you need to update it) or maybe WindowBuilder isn't really compatible / is really buggy when it comes to Apple Eclipse versions (my hypothesis). I have been using Windowbuilder for Windows Eclipse and this bug didn't appear in my WindowsBuilder. Also refer to the following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15963082/eclipse-juno-windowbuilder-palette-is-empty https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1093041/ – codingClown Apr 30 '21 at 02:31
