That is correct - there is (or was) no GUI editor in Eclipse. > (not sure about the latest versions but this a bit of a > problem in earlier versions, as well as the rather indifferent UML > support). Bah, I don't do UML. My programmers all think I'm crazy, but I find it a waste of time. <insert discussion of programming methods here> > > Actually Netbeans (community edition) does include a GUI editor (I > installed this to fill this gap), not really explored this in any depth > or recently as what I am currently working on is non-Java and non-GUI. > Unfortunately, this is a non-RPM install. Yes, there is a very good GUI editor in Netbeans 5.5 and (forthcoming) 6.0 that let's you build GUI apps for any OS - Mac, Wintendo, Linux, UNIX - with ease. I very much like the GUI editor in Netbeans. Using Visual Basic 3 as my benchmark for ease-of-development, I find Netbeans to be right up there. The only problem I'm having (as described on the Netbeans mailing lists) is the inability to have an item (JLabel) on one form be updated by an item on another form. I was hoping such an item would be easier in mono.net. Maybe not. ?
