Hi,

I'm using a freshly installed Eclipse 3.7 (64bit), with the latest WindowBuilder for SWT that I've just downloaded on Win7 64bit.

I created a new SWT Application Window, which seems to run fine and show the code view, but whenever I click on the "Design" tab, I get the following error:
Quote:
Internal Error
WindowBuilder encountered unexpected internal error.

This could be caused by a WindowBuilder bug or by a misconfiguration issue, conflict, partial update, etc.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path must include project and resource name: /org.eclipse.swt

I fixed it by including the swt.jar to the project manually, instead of setting up SWT as was recommended here: www.eclipse.org/swt/eclipse.php.
That page recommended importing the ZIP file as a project and then using it as a dependency, and that's what caused the exception above.

Maybe there is still a way to make this work even by using the SWT project as a dependency... can anyone help?

It seems that you try to use project where source and output location are project itself, instead of "src" and "bin".
Actually I can not even force Eclipse to create such project.

I think that link which you provide is very old.
Now recommended way to create SWT/JFace project is creating plugin and importing SWT, JFace and other plugins, so allow PDE manage classpath for you.

I've never heard about that before! (I'm new to both Eclipse and Java)

I did hear about adding User Libraries in Preferences > Java > Build Path > User Libraries, and then adding them to any project I want... is that something similar?

User libraries is something in the middle between:
1. adding jars directly into project;
2. managing classpath using PDE.
Such libraries allow use make modifications only in one place, instead of changing classpath for each project.
But when you update your Eclipse you still will need to change library to include new SWT, JFace, etc.

In contrast with PDE you specify name of library and PDE will find and use it in your plugins folder.

Strangely enough, they give the same instructions on how to use JFace: http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFace#Create_the_Eclipse_SWT.2FJFace_Project
Are you sure that this is not a WindowBuilder problem? Because the project itself compiles fine, it's only WindowBuilder the complains.

Well, I can not setup these projects to reproduce.
So, if you can provide projects, which can be imported into workspace to reproduce problem, I can take closer look.

I've fixed problem in WindowBuilder trunk.

Problem is that you use old style Java project, when *.java and *.class files are directly in project folder, instead of separate "src" and "bin" folders.
