What is the easiest way to design Java Swing GUIs in Eclipse IDE?
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I used Netbeans a lot but recently switched to Eclipse Luna. I am trying to create a GUI app in Java but I am having some trouble with this.
The drag and drop of Swing is very restrictive in Eclipse, I can get the label or text field any where on the screen I want, it keeps snapping to these weird "grid lines", or am I doing something wrong?
Are there extra plugins I need or am I doing something wrong?
Fixed the problem. I had to change the type of layout my form uses.
Thanks for your help.

WindowBuilder Design Tab incomplete in Eclipse

I had some problems yesterday with Eclipse, so I uninstalled then installed it again, I installed the latest JVM version, and I imported one of my old projects to eclipse, I added the windowBuilder from the eclipse market, but when I click on the design Tab, it doesn't show anything in it, even thought the source code exist, and the GUI works normally when I run the program, but in the design window I cant see anything, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I installed JavaFX 11 in Eclipse using a custom User Library with JavaFX in it, but now I would like to be able to see the documentation in the tooltip windows in Eclipse. Currently it is showing me this:
How do I implement this correctly?
This problem occurs quite often. But there is a simple solution; add the preferences (Add the JRE in your JDK similar like that).
For more information please see here: Solution JRE
After adding the javadoc source to library it should work (hopefully).

eclipse plugin for bluej interface [closed]
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I've recently tried to switch from Bluej (we used that in school) to eclipse (which seems to be way more widespread) but I have some trouble distinguishing between different loops and methods etc. I am used to everything being highlighted. Is there a way to make it look like in BlueJ?
Thanks in advance!
NetBeans is another widely used IDE if you're willing to switch to it, it also has a BlueJ plugin. However, it's only available for NetBeans 6.5

I know this is not a programming issue, but I couldn't find any solution for two days. I have installed Windows builder and created my first hello world app, but something is wrong with the controls.
For example, this line
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "hello world");
gives me output.
What is wrong?
or type something jtextField

The biggest contribution to Eclipse GUI builders was made by Google. Check out Window Builder - really awesome tool!
There is the WindowBuilder Pro from Google, that can be installed as Eclipse plugin. There is also the JGoodies JFormDesigner, but I'm not sure whether it can be used as a plugin.
