Like some other people, I should be happy to know the how-to install in Eclipse (Eclipse 3.4 and Java 1.6). With what I did, I get an empty windows Palette. Even with code refering visualswing4eclipse, the palette is empty.
Ok, just search a while finding out how to install.
1.) In Eclipse, goto "Help" -> "Install new Software..." 2.) Press Button "Add..." on the right side. 3.) Give it a name. In field "location" paste the following: "http://visualswing4eclipse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/vs4e" (without the quotes) 4.) Uncheck "Group items by category". 5.) Now, something should be displayed in the list. Check the Software and continue with the wizzard.
After a eclipse restart, new items can be added (Frame, Internal Frame, ....) to your package or project or whatever. Maybe you do not see the palette when created a Frame. Just take a look at the bottom line (where "console" & co remains) and drag it to the right pane.
Update site doesn't work in eclipse 3.5 , for installing just download the latest binary jars and extract them in eclipse/plugins folder and your all set!
Hi all, YES!!! If you are put off by the update site not working, don't be! This plugin is amazing. And shows better capabilities than even the form editor in net beans IDE. I haven't done a lot of testing, but so far it does what I want.... AND it doesn't need to write/use a .form file of any kind. So the only file you edit is the actual .java file. I thought I read something to the contrary on the home page of visualswing4eclipse, and expected something of the sort. However, there seems to be just a single comment at the top of the class identifying it as a visualswing4eclipse class. Lovely! I didn't like the thought of having to check-in extra IDE specific files (as developers at my site use various IDE's). This is wonderful!
Just install as mahendrashelke suggests. Download the latest, and extract into the eclipse folder.
I have a problem with the designer. I made a plain Java Project, added a JDialog and a JFrame. I'm starting the Application with the JFrame, added a button and make a new instance of JDialog.
Now the problem is that the Dialog is not as big as the Designer shows me, in other words that means that some components are not on the screen, but i see them when i drag the window bigger and then i see the elements.
Excellent tool..very useful.
Well done. Would you like some help? Let me know and / or add my e-mail address to the project.
Author has been working for Sun, so this tool is very similar to NetBeans? GUI designer.
I like your cause. Can Netbeans GUI designer form be imported?
how i can add openswing to palatte
hi how to install this plug-in in eclipse?
Much more usefull than "visual editor" for eclipse. I was very impressed.
陈先生，首先对你的项目致敬，希望您能继续在工作之余能坚持下去 尽管很多地方做得不够完善，还远不及netbeans，但是自从看到第一眼，我发现他就是我要找的eclipse的GUI设计工具。 bug方面，我能忍受，搞程序开发，不可能没有bug，继续努力！ 希望能尽快出一个适用性很好的版本，功能可以简陋一些，但是组件要全，尽量少的bug（不影响到正常使用和莫名其妙的提示就OK）！

哥们，赞一个先！
如果android ADT组有你，就不会有那么恐怖的android layoutEditor发布了~呵呵
Excelente sirve perfectamente, felicidades!!!
The palette appears to get populated when you create a visual object eg applet.
而然看到这个插件感觉不错 先下了一个.. 但是,有个问题啊...在下载包里没有任何的说明文档 在你的blog也找不到使用说明... 有点一头雾水的感觉啊
any documentation on how to use this?

Hi ho,
first thanks for this great plugin!
I have a problem with the designer. I made a plain Java Project, added a JDialog and a JFrame. I'm starting the Application with the JFrame, added a button and make a new instance of JDialog.

Anyone know this issue?
Thank you :)
