I’m looking for a good GUI designer for swing in eclipse. My preference is for a free/open-source plugin.

‘Jigloo’ is a very cool GUI designer. It is not free for commercial use however.
It auto-generates code and allows for custom editing of the code it creates.

Another good GUI designer for Eclipse is Window Builder Pro. Like Jigloo, it’s not free for commercial use.
It allows you to design user interfaces for Swing, SWT and even the Google Web Toolkit (GWT).

Visual Editor is a good choice.
It generates very clean code, with no “layout” files beside of your sourcen using a simple but convenient pattern. It’s very easy to patch the generated code and directly see the result.
There are some stability problems (some times, the preview window does not refresh anymore…), but nothing that a “clean Project” can’t fix…

well check out the eclipse distro easyeclipse at EasyEclipse. it has Visual editor project already added as a plugin, so no hassles of eclipse version compatibility.Plus the eclipse help section has a tutorial on VE.
It’s not free or open source. But you can give Intellij Idea’s SWING GUI designer a try.
