I downloaded Netbeans 8.0 with all bundle from http://netbeans.org/downloads and installed it successfully on Windows 8.
But I can't find Java Desktop Application which should be under Java category when add new project as 6.5 does.
Where is it? Or what is the substitute one in 8.0? I need something to create GUI by dragging components.
Thanks
You can still use Netbeans GUI components in Netbeans 8.0.
Create a normal Java Project:
Select "New Project" on the "File" menu.
Select "Java"
Select "Java Application"
Fill out the required data and finish.
Once the project is created:
Right click in a java package and select "New", then "Other" at the bottom of the menu.
Select "Swing GUI Forms"
Then choose the file type (JFrame as an example).
Netbeans will load the GUI tools for you at that moment.

I am both an android developer and a swing developer. I usually use a adt-version of eclipse that was downloaded from google with android development tools, this version seems to be juno 4.2.1.
The problem is that the windowbuilder doesn't show up. No windowbuilder options under preferences, and no new editors available.
Previously i have been working on eclipse there i could install window Builder from market place> i want to build gui using drag and drop option from the design menu
And i know by default my eclipse should include window Builder but when i right click on my class file i can't find window Builder
I tried to import it externally but i cant find any option to import it just like in eclipse
I'm assuming you mean "myeclipse" when you wrote "eclipse", since you have MyEclipse in the heading and as a keyword. If so, MyEclipse has come with WindowBuilder installed, for quite a few releases. Try New->Other and, in the wizard, type "window" in the filter box. You should see a couple of WindowBuilder options. If you do mean "eclipse" then you'd need to install. Go to Help->Eclipse Marketplace then search for "windowbuilder", click the Install button to install.
Assuming you are using Eclipse Neon
Eclipse Help-> Install New Software.
enter this URL : http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.6/
Tick the Window Builder and click Add
Complete the installation.
I want to create a "java desktop application" project under the category of applications in JDeveloper and then I want to add some swing items to this project.
The first part goes well after creating project when I right click on project name and go to new then application a new window opens but when I go to swing/awt category to add an item to my project, these are unable to select even I am running JDeveloper in studio developer role where all the features are included.
I am currently using Oracle JDeveloper 12c (12.1.3.0.0).
Can anyone tell me why these items are unable to select?
Run JDeveloper Studio in default mode.
Then create a new application of type "Java Desktop Application" then your project should be set to work with swing.
I created an eclipse product based on a plugin.
from the product pane:
left side, pressing "Launch an eclipse application" invokes a new eclipse platform that is only able to create an empty project or a project based on my plugin (no java project, etc...). OK that is what I want.
right side: I've exported my product in a fresh empty directory. When I run my application from the command-line, I'm asked to open a new workspace and then, I only get an empty window .
what's the proper way to export my application ?
Thxs
The reason your export doesn't work is that you select org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench.
When you generated your EMF code as RCP. (This is an option in the .genmodel under Editor->Rich Client Plarform) you should get an application for the RCP. When you select this application in your .product, all will be fine.
Check your product configuration: go to the "dependencies" tab and press the "Add Required" button.
If you would like to export your plugin (product) as a standalone application(just create a build) I would recommend you to take a look at the Tycho (http://eclipse.org/tycho/). Tycho tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseTycho/article.html.
How can I create a RCP application, which looks exactly like the Eclipse IDE with all menus, views, dialogs...?
Here is one example: http://richclientplatform.blogspot.com/2007/12/oil-and-gas-industry-using-eclipse.html
I followed Lars Vogel's tutorial to create a simple RCP application: http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html.
... what are the next steps?
The ide bundle provides you with classes and extension points that allow you to use the workspace metaphor but it does not include the extensions that add all the functionality that you would see in the Eclipse IDE.
Since each bundle in an RCP app application adds menu, views, and dialogs the way to get your application to look like the IDE is to include all of the bundle that come with the IDE.
Usually you start with a pretty bare application like something tutorials that Vogel (who I find puts out good tutorials) puts out describe. Then when you find something that you want to add you research which bundle provides it and you add that bundle. As you do this your application will grow in functionality without picking up functionality your user does not need.
EDIT: Let me walk you through creating a simple RCP application.
Create a new Project by going to File -> New -> Project
Select Plug-in Project
Set the Project name to com.mydomain.rcp
Click Next
Under Rich Client Application select Yes
Click Next
Select RCP Mail Template
Click Finish
You now have an RCP app with some functionality. Next we will run it:
Select Run -> Run Configurations...
Select Eclipse Application on the left
Right click and select New
Look for Program to Run/Run a Product. Select com.mydomain.rcp.product
Click on the Plug-ins tab
Find Launch with at the top and select plug-ins selected below only
Click Deselect All on the right
In you list of plug-ins select com.mydomain.rcp
At the bottom de-select Add new workspace plug-ins to this launch configuration automatically
On the right click on Add Required Plug-ins
On the bottom click on Run
The application should be running the sample mail application. Go ahead and close it down. Now let's add a plugin so we can get the Search menu to show up like it does in the Eclipse IDE.
In your com.mydomain.rcp project open up your plugin.xml file
Click on the Dependencies tab
Under Required Plug-ins click Add...
Type in org.eclipse.search
Select org.eclipse.search (not the source one)
Click OK
Save the plugin.xml file
From the menu select Run -> Run Configurations...
Click on the Plug-ins tab
On the right click on Add Required Plug-ins
On the bottom click on Run
You should now see the Search menu with the File Search option just like the IDE has. You will not see the Java Search or the Plug-in Search though because we did not add the appropriate JDT or PDE plugins containing those additions. Hopefully this gives you an idea how to add new plugins.
I am trying to follow instructions in Eclipse to create my first Hello World SWT application. I have problems on the first step. In the instructions the following is written:
Open your Web browser to
http://eclipse.org/downloads/,
navigate to the Eclipse Platform
project section, select the latest
release build, and find the SWT Binary
and Source download.
Well I am smart enough to "open my Web browser to http://eclipse.org/downloads/". This I can do. But I am not smart enough to "navigate to the Eclipse Platform project section, select the latest release build, and find the SWT Binary and Source download".
Can anybody help me to find this "Eclipse Platform project section"? Should I click on "Projects"? If it is the case, what should I click next?
Thank you in advance.
Go here, http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-2.1-200303272130/index.php and scroll all the way to the bottom to see SWT Binary and Source
Which may be a bit outdated, so go to http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ and under Development section, select your operating system.
From http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/samples/org.eclipse.swt.examples/doc-html/swt_manual_setup.html :
Adding SWT to your workspace
Download SWT for standalone applications. A standalone version of SWT is available on the same download page as the Eclipse SDK. Look for the section titled SWT Binary and Source. Do not extract the archive file, just save it to disk.
Select Import... from the File menu.
Select Existing Projects into Workspace and click on the Next button.
Select Select archive file: and use the Browse button to locate the SWT standalone archive you have previously downloaded.
Click on the Finish button.
This worked for me under Ubuntu on my netbook; I've been fighting for a few days to configure Eclipse and I'm getting closer to done.
