In the past, creating a suitable graphical user interface required time-intensive hand coding that was cost-prohibitive. With the introduction of graphical GUI design tools, the landscape has changed. GUI building tools allow developers to spend less time and money creating Java GUIs, because they can focus on creating application-specific functionality rather than coding the low-level logic required for GUIs to run.

WindowBuilder Pro is a GUI builder tool that seamlessly integrates into any Eclipse-based Java™ development environment, adding powerful capabilities like a visual design editor, wizards, intelligent layout assistants and internationalization. Using WindowBuilder Pro, developers can use the visual designer to create a complicated interface in minutes, with the underlying Java code automatically created in a Source view.
