Questions tagged [windowbuilder]

For questions about using WindowBuilder which is a Java GUI WYSIWYG visual designer plugin for Eclipse. WindowBuilder is composed of SWT Designer and Swing Designer.

WindowBuilder is a powerful and easy to use Java GUI designer that makes it very easy to create Java GUI applications without spending a lot of time writing code to display simple forms. With WindowBuilder you can create complicated windows in minutes. Use the visual designer and Java code will be generated for you. You can easily add controls using drag-and-drop, add event handlers to your controls, change various properties of controls using a property editor, internationalize your app and much more.

WindowBuilder is built as a plug-in to Eclipse and can also be used with the various Eclipse-based IDEs (RAD, RSA, MyEclipse, JBuilder, etc.). The plug-in builds an abstract syntax tree (AST) to navigate the source code and uses GEF to display and manage the visual presentation.
