The Visual Editor is no longer being maintained and I doubt that it will
work with Eclipse 3.7. You should look at WindowBuilder. Google has
graciously donated this tool to the Eclipse Foundation.

If you get the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers package from the
eclipse.org downloads page, WindowBuilder is already included. Otherwise
it can be added via Help > Install New Software
