    There are several GUI plugins for Eclipse. I can't really tell you which is the best though.

    Please see - Search | Eclipse Plugins, Bundles and Products - Eclipse Marketplace

    Have you tried the NetBeans IDE before? Perfect for building GUIs.

    If you want my two cents, I recommend against using a GUI builder until you become pretty familiar with Swing. It's hard enough to learn Swing without having to learn the quirks of a GUI builder on top of that. You're going to have a much better idea of what's going on if you code Swing "by hand" and go through the tutorials instead of drag-and-dropping in a visual GUI builder. That will also come in handy when something weird inevitably happens- code you write is much easier to debug (for you and for us) than code that a GUI builder has generated.
