The bug is hard to explain so I will add images to show my problem. As you can see in the provided picture the interface is completely empty. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have reinstalled eclipse and the addon multiple times and tried plenty of online tutorials but to no success.
Also, the code that was used is the base JPanel code that is generated when selecting it from the "New -> Other -> JPanel"
Well here is a way to fix this:
reinstall eclipse
set JDK compliance to 11
Add JRE System library 1.7
Install WindowBuilder (You may be forced to use 1.9.4 or 1.9.5 for compability, download it from their website and use )
This should get you set to go :D
In case your get any kind of errors use the marketplace to update your WindowBuilder and that should fix it.
I had the same problem on my manjaro linux where I recently installed eclipse IDE 2021-12. I'm using jdk 17 . I tried several solutions that I found on google without success.
In fact, I had installed from the eclipse marketplace version 1.9.7 of windowbuilder; and when I had to open a source file in the windowbuilder editor, the components palette was always empty.
I can list here what I tried to solve my problem:
I tried the tutorials that talked about installing the windowbuilder
plug-in from Help -> Eclipse Marketplace or from Help -> Install New
Software -> -> add a zip file, but in these types of tutorials,
eclipse versions that are used, was released before 2019, and this solution didn't work on my 2021-12
version.
I tried an upgrade to windowbuilder 1.9.8, but I still had the same problem
Here is a simple manipulation that worked for me:
=> I did an update (actually an upgrade) to 1.9.8 but before that I had to change a configuration in the preferences, consisting of automatically associating all java GUI files with the windowbuilder editor:
Window -> Preferences -> Windowbuilder and I checked the checkbox "Associate Windowbuilder editor with automatically recognized Java GUI files".
I restarted eclipse so that the configuration takes effect in the
workspace by doing : File -> Switch Workspace and I choose the same
workspace I was in and this has the effect of restarting eclipse.
Once eclipse was restarted, I went to the eclipse Marketplace and updated
my windowbuilder and after restarting, everything works fine.
I had the same problem with Eclipse 2022-03 and WindowBuilder 1.9.8. WindowBuilder was running, I could open files in the WindowBuilder Editor with Design and Binding tabs, but pressing the Design tab showed an empty palette.
I did an uninstall of WindowBuilder (from the Help-> Eclipse Marketplace, then search for windowbuilder) and then installed the 1.9.9 nightly build. Maybe the 1.9.8 would work as well but this worked for me.
I have before the same problem. I have now resolved it.
Just do these steps.
Goto Help- Eclipse Market Place
Search Window Builder - If u already installed, Click install or else do download.
Check that the installed tab, Window builder is updated or not. If not do Update.
After finishing the update and restart. Your Problem Resolved.

The following message pops up when I try to use the content assist command (Ctrl+Space) after I installed the WindowBuilder plug-in :
"The 'API Tools Javadoc Proposals' proposal from computer from the 'org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.ui' plug-in did not complete normally..."
I already tried to de-select the API Tools Javadoc Proposals on Content Assist, as the program sugests, but still did not work. I also tried to select all the Java Proposals, tried to change the Key and nothing worked. I need to use this plug-in for a important project. Does anybody know what can I do?
PS: I never had this problem with Eclipse before, I uninstalled and installed the Window Builder plug-in to see what would happen, and the problem is definitely related to Window Builder.
Installing an older version of Eclipse could work, and indeed it does.
I've installed Eclipse 2018-12 and the latest official (NOT prerelease) Window Builder version from the Eclipse Marketplace. Now the content assistant works fine.
IMPORTANT: You can have more than one Eclipse installation at the same time on your computer, as long as it is in a different folder. That's how I did it at least. Bad thing is, that you'll probably need another workspace separate from your everyday workspace, just for the Eclipse 2018-12 installation.
I'm using Eclipse Neon, that I installed from Eclipse Installer.The problem is when I want to work with Swing, I did not find it.
And when I tried to installed using this solution, I did not find it in the repository of neon.
Can Anyone help ?
Starting today, there is a more official build for WindowBuilder on Neon: http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.6/ . You can monitor progress of the re-introduction of WindowBuilder into Neon.1 at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=498276 .
To install WindowBuilder in Eclipse Neon go to :Eclipse Help-> Install New Software.In the textbox for add enter this URL : http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.6/ (as shown in screenshot)Tick the Window Builder and click Add . Complete the installation.
See http://zaunerc.blogspot.fr/2016/06/windowbuilder-p2-update-site-for.html . Someone created a Neon-compatible build of WindowBuilder to consume until WindowBuilder officially provide a compatible alternative.

You may have accidentally switched your workspace.
Go to File->Switch Workspace to check your recent workspaces, and change it back.
go in window menu and click on reset perspective and if your project are still not seen then try to switch the workspace to the drive in which it is saved
When to try to create a project in Netbeans, it freezes up after clicking Finish. All my buttons are greyed out, and I have to close the dialogue. I would attach a picture to show, but Im missing a few rep points.
After I close this dialogue, I just see the blank netbeans screen with no projects visible in my projects sidebar.
If I try to Open Project and navigate to where I saved it, I can select the project and click the Open Project button, but I return to the screen shown above, with no projects in the projects navigator in the sidebar.
Here is what I have already tried:
Reinstall netbeans
Remove openjdk and install oracle's java
Deleting the nbproject folder inside my project
Thanks in advance.
I have had similar experience with Netbeans after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. My eventual solution was to download and install the Netbeans 8 for linux from the Oracle site, complete with its JDK. I installed that. During the installation was asked if I wanted to import the settings from the previous version of Netbeans, I answered NO to that and then pulled my existing projects in manually, They are all working fine now.
you have to install netbeans from https://netbeans.org/downloads/8.0.1/ install and don't import earlier settings. Everything works good.
I read that Eclipse Indigo has Window Builder Pro plugin installed but I don't see where is it. File/New/Project doesn't give me option to choose Window Builder Pro. How to find it?
You need to add this update site to Eclipse.
http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201106211200/3.7/
I found it on this page http://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php
Seems as the project isn't fully finished for Indigo (http://eclipse.org/indigo/planning/SimultaneousReleaseOverview.php?action=project&projectid=tools.windowbuilder
I too expected and understood WindowBuilder would come built into Indigo, but apparently they changed their mind last minute. Instead they're 'announcing' "WindowBuilder, a world-class Eclipse-based GUI builder, is now available as an Eclipse open source project" as a new feature of Indigo, which is clearly not a new feature to indigo, as the open source plugin has had 2 releases for eclipse in it's open source format.
Source: http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20110622indigo.php
there is no window builder in indigo Java EE win 64 :(
and probably in other releases
there is also no egit and m2eclipse in indigo Java EE win 64
http://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php
In this URL you can find links to Update Site and Zipped Update Site for Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) up to 4.2 (Juno), just hyperlink address...
It's included in the Eclipse update sites (at least in Juno):
Goto - Menu > Help > Install New Software...
Select - Work With: Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
The WindowBuilder items are under "General Purpose Tools" (or use the filter)
In Eclipse Indigo, go to Menu > Help > Install New Software
Navigate to Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
In the list, search for General Purpose Tools and expand it
You will find WindowsBuilder core within this expanded group
open the install new software site,then click add , paste this link http://archive.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201106211200/3.7/ in the location.
it will work.
