Quickly create high quality Java user interfaces.

WYSIWYG visual designer, wizards, editors, and intelligent layout assist let you automatically generate and maintain GUIs.

Are you hand-coding GUIs?
WindowBuilder beats them "hands down"

As you use the WYSIWYG layout tools, Java code is generated for you. You can easily:

• add controls using drag-and-drop
• add event handlers to your controls
• change various properties of controls using a property editor
• and much more

Because the WindowBuilder products are fully bi-directional — with round-trip editing — you can also:

• edit the generated code and then see the GUI again in WYSIWYG view.
• access hand-created GUIs, see them in WYSIWYG view as the WindowBuilder tools reverse engineers them.

In addition to lots of graphical feedback and wizards, you get a component tree, which makes navigation through components much easier.

Rave Reviews

Review on DevX. "I noticed right away ... how clean the Java code it generated was. In fact, by studying how WindowBuilder structured its output ... I learned a lot about writing maintainable Java GUIs." [Jason Morris 2004.10.14]

Review on Fullspan. "Swing Designer hits the mark perfectly for me: it is an Eclipse plug-in with tight IDE integration; it has a fantastic visual designer; it has excellent support for JGoodies FormLayout; and it is reasonably priced. Therefore, Swing Designer is my first choice for my GUI work." [Mitch Stuart 2005.04.06]

Review on an Australian Blog. "I've been wanting this tool for my entire Java life.... The GUI editor just rocks, and the visual hierarchy of components really helps me understand how the underlying codebase hangs together.... Refactoring all still works... There are no magic "untouchable" sections of your codebase..." [Glen Smith 2005.04.12]

WindowBuilder flexibly integrates into your Java development

Whatever your coding style, the WindowBuilder products can cope. They:

• can read and write almost any format
• support free form code editing (you can make changes anywhere... not just in special areas)
• support most user refactorings (you can move, rename and subdivide methods without a problem)

Run time? It's just Java code. The generated code can be used without having the WindowBuilder product installed, because it doesn't require any additional non-SWT library to compile and run.

Unintrusive. A WindowBuilder product seamlessly integrates with your existing Eclipse workspace. Just unpack it and restart Eclipse. Also, its Help is fully integrated with the Eclipse help system.
