Installing WindowBuilder on Eclipse 4.2

Tags:

I'm using Eclipse Juno 4.2, downloaded from here.

On previous installs, I've been using 3.7, and I've been using WindowBuilder, which I find very useful. I noticed it wasn't included this time, so I used this update site provided on this page (the zip file download gives a "file unavailable" error).

However, when I run the install, it rapidly climbs to 28%, then freezes. After half an hour, I get a very long error, whose message starts with this text:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session

context was:(profile=epp.package.java, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

Multiple problems occurred while downloading. Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.2/plugins/org.eclipse.wb.core_1.5.0.r42x201205291332.jar.pack.gz.

(full text)

Does anyone know how I can go about installing it?

Does Eclipse come with WindowBuilder?

WindowBuilder is built as a plug-in to Eclipse and the various Eclipse-based IDEs (RAD, RSA, MyEclipse, JBuilder, etc.). The plug-in builds an abstract syntax tree (AST) to navigate the source code and uses GEF to display and manage the visual presentation.

How do I open WindowBuilder?

To open with the windowbuilder editor, right click on a java file and select "Open With/Windowbuilder editor". After the source is opened once with this editor, Eclipse will remember it.

Try the juno repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/.

In Eclipse:

  1. Goto - Menu > Help > Install New Software...
  2. Select - Work With: Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
  3. The WindowBuilder items are under "General Purpose Tools" (or use the filter)
