RELEASE SUMMARY:
WindowBuilder Pro is an easy to use two-way Java GUI designer. It installs
into Eclipse-based IDEs, including IBM WebSphere Studio. WindowBuilder Pro
includes SWT Designer and Swing Designer and makes it very easy to create
Java GUI applications without spending a lot of time writing code.

HOW IT WORKS:
WindowBuilder Pro is built as a plugin to Eclipse and the various WebSphere
Studio IDEs (WSSD, WSAD, WSED, etc.). The plugin builds an abstract syntax
tree (AST) to navigate the source code and uses GEF to display and manage
the visual presentation. Using WYSIWYG layout tools, you don't need to write
any lines of java code - the code will be generated for you by the designer.
You can easily add any control to a composite by using drag-and-drop, add an
event handler to your controls, change various properties of controls using
property editors and much more. Generated code doesn't require any
additional custom libraries to compile and run: all of the generated code
can be used without having WindowBuilder Pro installed. WindowBuilder Pro
can read and write almost any format and reverse-engineer most hand-written
Java GUI code. It also supports free form code editing (make changes
anywhere...not just in special areas) and most user refactorings (you can
move, rename and subdivide methods without a problem).
