Jigloo GUI Builder

Jigloo GUI Builder is a cool plugin for the Eclipse Java IDE and WebSphere Studio. With Jigloo, you can easily build and manage both Swing and SWT GUI classes. It makes creating graphical user interfaces a breeze!

Create and Manage GUIs Effortlessly

One of the best things about Jigloo is that it lets you create and manage all parts of your Swing or SWT GUIs. Plus, it helps you handle events while showing you exactly how the GUIs look as you're building them.

Round-Tripping with Ease

Jigloo has this neat feature where it parses Java class files to help construct the form you'll use when designing your GUI. This means it works great with classes made by other GUI builders, IDEs, or even ones you've coded by hand! And if you want to switch between Swing and SWT GUIs? No problem at all!

Saves Time on Development

If you're looking to save time on GUI development and maintenance, Jigloo is definitely worth checking out. It's straightforward, fast, powerful, and fully integrated with Eclipse. You'll be amazed at how much quicker you can get things done!

Highly Customizable Features

Jigloo offers tons of customization options. You can restrict which parts of your code it parses, plus set patterns for the classes that are used when creating forms in the editor.

Edit Your Code Just How You Like It

The code that Jigloo generates can also be tweaked! Want your existing code organized in a certain way? No problem! You can make sure it's styled just how you prefer—like using getters for GUI elements or adding blank lines where needed.

Visual Inheritance Support

This plugin even supports visual inheritance! That means you can design classes that extend other custom classes whether they're public, abstract, or non-public.

Smooth Navigation Between Editors

Navigating between code and form editors is super easy with Jigloo. When you're focused on one editor, Jigloo highlights what’s relevant in the other so you always know what you're working on.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Jigloo wants everyone to have access! It runs smoothly on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux (gtk). While it hasn't been tested on every platform out there, there's a good chance it’ll perform well elsewhere too.

A Note About Licensing:

Nobody likes hidden fees: You can use Jigloo for free if it's non-commercial use. However, if you're planning to use it commercially after trying it out successfully, you'll need to purchase a Professional License.
