I need to create applications with a Java graphical interface. I use Eclipse Mars as an IDE for programming in Java, I noticed that it does not have in its standard installation the Windowbuilder package to make graphical screens in programming, such as the Netbeans IDE that has the Form Jframe option that contains various tools to make buttons, text boxes, menus, etc.

Where can I find a way to work with a GUI without having to change IDE, using only Eclipse to program? Is there a native Eclipse option that does what I need that I haven’t? If you have it, can you help me find it? Or which link to download a package that contains these tools (I believe Windowbuilder)? Thank you.

  • You are using the "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" or "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers"?

  • I am using the Eclipse SDK for Java SE.

  • When you download the 64-bit "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" link: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ it comes with Windowbuilder installed. That’s not the one you downloaded?

  • It wasn’t the one I was using, but I just downloaded it here. Where I find the option similar to the Netbeans "Form Jframe" in this version?

  • See if my answer below answers your question. I don’t know where you downloaded the Eclipse before, but downloading the link I passed already has the WB by default.

If someone is in the same situation as me, you can simply download another version of Eclipse, such as the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" that already has this package installed or Go to Help > Install New Software > Work with and add this link "http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.5/" and download only the Windowbuilder package, without the need to change Eclipse version.

Grateful to all who helped me.

  • When I click on "here" which is a link in the phrase "Instructions and system here." it takes me to http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.Wb.doc.user/html/installation/index.html referring to the Kepler version. I wonder if those instructions are for Mars?

  • Yes they are the same.

The Mars version of Eclipse already comes with Windowbuilder installed, so just download the package intended for Javase on the site of Eclipse itself, the link: http://eclipse.org/downloads

Choose the package named "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers", which is the version that interests you.

A .zip, no need to install, just unzip in a folder of your choice and run the `eclipse.exe.

Create a new project, as shown below:

Then create the Jframe on the side icon, as shown below:
