GUI Building Tools for Eclipse





These are some of the Graphical User Interface building tools supported by Eclipse. You just have to follow the link and install the plugin into Eclipse. I personally used them in my projects in CMPE 273, under professor Mike Larkin. I would personally recommend Google's Windows Builder Pro which creates neat and efficient code in the Code Preview. Also the back and forth switching between the UI and Code is pretty fast allowing you to save you time. Please pick one according to your choice.







The one which is the best according to my personal experience while working on University Record System project in CMPE 273 under Professor Mike Larkin:
