I have just installed Eclipse 3.4 and found out that there is not a plugin to create Swing applications yet. I also have found that there is a Matisse implementation in MyEclipse IDE, but I'd like to now whether there is such a Matisse plugin for free.
Instatiations Swing Designer is the best in my opinion. We settled on it after trying may different Eclipse plugins.
there isnt one for free. myeclipse is the only way to run matisse inside eclipse.
Although this is not a true answer to your question, you may as well look at alternative solutions in terms of layout management: Matisse and GroupLayout are neither the only way, nor the best one, to define your GUI forms.
I would suggest you take a look at:
- MigLayout (very powerful and quite simple)
- and DesignGridLayout (quite powerful and very simple)
Both are open source and have a friendly license (not GPL). A quick search on Google will give you the links immediately.
Disclaimer: I am one of DesignGridLayout both project owners, but I point you to it because I'm convinced it provides a better way to define Swing layouts.
I did a quick Google search and found that you could use Netbeans Matisse and Eclipse in parallel:
NetBeans Wiki: UsingNetbeansMatisseAndEclipseInParallel
It seems to basically involve building the Swing GUI in Netbeans and doing the other coding tasks from within Eclipse.
