Design view of Eclipse windowbuilder pugin on Wind

I was using Eclipse Kepler Release 1 x64, wiht Java 7 x64 on Windows 4 pro x64 and I had no problems with Eclipse WindowBuilder plugin. But since I upgraded to Windows 8.1 pro x64, WindowBuilder has stopped working.

First the follwoing button is freezed and does not respond to user clicks.

And if in project explorer I go to some java file that I have already created with WindowBuilder plugin in windows 7 x64, right click on it and choose: Open with > WindowBuilder Editor, source code opens fine, but when I switch to Design view, I get Unknown GUI toolkit.

Stacktrace:

org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.utils.exception.DesignerException: 103 (Unknown GUI toolkit). guis.UsersAll

So can anyone tell me how to get WindowBuilder work on Eclipse on Windows 8.1 pro x64?

回答1:

You don't need to reinstall the whole WindowBuilder. Your toolkit was probably SWT, and SWT designer might not come included in your eclipse download. All you need to do is to add SWT designer features to your WindowBuilder from "Install New Software" menu, selecting default Luna installation site, searching for "SWT Designer".

回答2:

I fixed the problem by:

Unistalling the window builder
Downloading the zip package of the new version of the window builder from here.
Then I extracted that and put its extracted directory inside dropins folder of eclipse.
Then restarted eclipse.

And WindowBuilder worked fine.

What worked for me was getting the jfxswt.jar file and adding it into my library for that project.
