[ajug-members] eclipse swing plugin

[SilverAnvil]

If you're thinking of Matisse, then you're right - it is a nice drag and
drop designer, but it uses a .form file that parallels the .java file
containing the Swing code (example MainScreen.java and MainScreen.form) so
you can't really use it with an existing interface.

If you're starting from scratch you can create a new Desktop app and inherit
nice GUI stuff like a menu bar, status bar, remembering the size and
position of the main windos, etc.

Hope this helps,
Burk
