First-class GUI building tools for Eclipse

Visual Editor Project Logo

Please note: 2007-10-03: Current official builds of the Visual Editor require Eclipse 3.2 (Callisto). The Visual Editor is migrating progressively to Eclipse 3.3 (Europa). Preliminary instructions on testing preview builds are available on the VE wiki. Thank you for your patience and supporting the project!

About Us

The Eclipse Visual Editor project is a vendor-neutral, open development platform supplying frameworks for creating GUI builders, and exemplary, extensible tool implementations for Swing/JFC and SWT/RCP. These tools are exemplary in that they verify the utility of the Eclipse Visual Editor frameworks, illustrate the appropriate use of those frameworks, and support the development and maintenance of the Eclipse Visual Editor Platform itself.

The purpose of the Eclipse Visual Editor Project is to advance the creation, evolution, promotion of the Eclipse Visual Editor platform, and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services. In particular, the Visual Editor Project intends to be useful for creating GUI builders for other languages such as C/C++ and alternate widget sets, including those that are not supported under Java.
