Like many Eclipse.org projects, the goal of the Visual Editor project is to build a tool for building tools -- in this case, tools for building graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The Visual Editor Project has released a reference implementation. The Visual Editor release 0.5 is a GUI builder for AWT/Swing applications, a long-awaited Eclipse feature. Release 1.0, slated for delivery in mid-2004, includes support for SWT. Get an overview of Visual Editor and the technology behind it, along with a short demonstration of Visual Editor 0.5's features for building AWT/Swing applications and a preview of the SWT support in Visual Editor 1.0.
