When I'm writing UI code, I tend to have a very tight loop of "change,
run, check" to make sure my UI is looking like I expect it to. Given
that this is basically the first thing I've ever done with SWT, I expect
that to continue, since although I may have a good idea of what I want,
I'm not too confident in my ability to get it right ;)
So, the question I have is: How do you do your UI construction? Are
there good SWT UI builders that work with and understand Eclipse pages,
et al? Is there a good, simple way to convert between the output of
things that do and an Eclipse part? Specifically, that last, I want to
make use of the FormPage part for my editor...
How do you verify that your designs are good, other than by running
Eclipse again and again -- which takes more time than I want it to,
given the frequency with which I do it.
Any other UI construction tips would be just dandy.
Thanks.

See http://www.eclipse.org/vep/ it's a great plugin and you'll find lots
of tutorials too.

You could also try XSWT. It includes a preview view.
