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.

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.

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.
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.
My Java specifications: JRE: 1.8_u60, JDK: 1.8_u60
JAVA_HOME is set-up correctly.
I´ve downloaded and installed the latest Eclipse Mars Java SDK (Eclipse Mars.1 / 4.5.1) from the official Eclipse download page and used the installer.
I used the Eclipse update site from e(fx)clipse to install the JavaFX IDE.
As described in the site´s tutorial I should now be able to create FX projects with File > New > Other > JavaFX ...
But unfortunatelly I don´t have any option to create an FX project. There is no sub-section called JavaFX.
How do I set up JFX for Eclipse Mars properly (if my setup does not work at all)? here is one more similar Question asked.
Remove the installed plugin and try installing it through Marketplace.
Edit after the answer was accepted:
Just for clarification, it should also work in the way OP has tried it. Before one tries to troubleshoot why it's not working, it is very convenient to verify that the installation is not working from marketplace either.
Since JavaFX is now on default classpath, you do not need any extra plugin to create a JavaFX application. You can just create a simple Java Project in Eclispe and get started.
But, e(fx)clipse is recommended to install on Eclipse because of the extra features it adds to the IDE.
I just finished installing the e(fx)clipse plugin on my Eclipse Mars to check if your scenario can be reproduced, but unfortunately after installing the plugin & restarting Eclipse, I can create JavaFX projects.
You can either try restarting Eclipse or re-install the plugin again.
As mentioned in previous Question by tomsontom, you can check your status of e(fx)clips bundles. Or you can use All-In-One Download.
i am new to the eclipse and i am trying to install the google plug in for eclipse and i get the following :
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.2 3.2.0.v201302131858-rel-r42 (com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature.feature.group 3.2.0.v201302131858-rel-r42)

Use Eclipse Java EE, not Eclipse SDK..

Launch Eclipse. Click on Help>Install New Software. On the subsequent window titled “Available Software”, click on blue link ‘Available Software Sites’. Look for the URL http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo in the list of Software Sites. Select and click on Enable (button on the right). Click on OK.
Back on the “Available Software” window, type the URL http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5 in the field labeled “Work with:” . Click on Add. This will show Plugin and SDKs in the bottom pane. Check the boxes against them and click on Next. Follow the onscreen instructions. This will install the Google plugin and SDK. When prompted, restart Eclipse.
You may obviously need to update the links to be 4.2 instead of 3.5 and juno instead of galileo.
As Kevin Fritz said, use preferably the Eclipse Java EE package. If you don't want to install Eclipse from scratch, you can also install the needed plugins from the Juno update site or the WTP update site. Install the WTP packages. Just ask if you don't know how to proceed.
Which URL do I install this and any pre-reqs from, and how can I install them? Been struggling with this for the last 1 hour with no luck.
new 2013 answer: it seems to depend on what version of eclipse you're running.
click "help" -> "about eclipse sdk" to find the version (e.g. 4.2.2).
optionally, from the version number you can know the codename (e.g. Juno) from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29#Releases
go here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F
right click on the correct WTP link copy the link address (e.g. WTP 3.4) (they should be listed by version and codename)
now in eclipse, click "help" -> "install new software..." and paste the link location in the "work with" field (e.g. "http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/").
choose "Web Tools Platform (WTP #.#.#)" and click next and install everything.
restart eclipse, close all open files and re-open them for web tools to start working.
If you can use a clean install of Eclipse. Download Enterprise Java version. WTP its included in this Eclipse distribution. When you need updates for WTP, you can get updates via "Eclipse Software Updates" tool.
Regards
You can download WTP from Eclipse Help Menu. Following is the link to download the WTP into Eclipse.

I try my best to stick to Pulse, which handles a lot of the configuration of Eclipse plugins for you. I'm not associated with them by the way, but am very happy with the service. WTP is one of the features they provide.
