A newbie here.
I downloaded ecclipse a couple of days ago and had a few questions.
Does ecclipse have a Gui for developing forms - swing and/or awt. Your
standard sun Forte type of deal and if yes how do I get to it.
Same question with with UML type developement.
I want to use it for basic java IDE but can't seem to get very much other
than than a very good java editor with a fast object dictionary.
The update manager says no new udates. There is a list of disabled plugins
which look like Api's for developement (which I cannot seem to enable),
but not a gui developement tool in themselves.
I am still mystified by the JFace and SWT deal I do not see any signs of
them as a form builders.
I like what I have seen so far and am convinced there is more to this
thing hidden somewhere and I should be able to see by some magic spell.
I have gone through the help a couple of times. Is there a list of plugins
I could get to somehow.
I apologise if this is not the right forum; If so which is the right forum.
Thanking you
Pervaz

No, there is currently no GUI builder (for Swing or anything else) in Eclipse.

There are a few plugins being developed. Look around at http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/1

You should go through the documentation. There's a lot more too it than that, including a really fast incremental compiler, refactoring tools, integration with CVS and a number of other VCMs,
and a solid, extensible design.

JFace and SWT were primarily developed for Eclipse itself, though more than a few people are starting to use them for other projects as well. Still, no GUI builder.

The Wiki (link above) is a good place for finding out all the little details about Eclipse.

Next time use eclipse.tools. This forum is for discussion of experimental Eclipse projects.
