Window Builder in Eclipse (JAVA) Won't Load

java eclipse user-interface windowbuilder

I'm in the process of learning JAVA and was looking for a GUI editor/creator for use within Eclipse. I Googled and found "WindowBuilder". I installed it via these instructions:

https://developers.google.com/java-dev-tools/wbpro/installation/

When I installed it, I checked each checkbox to install everything. However, when I create a class to create a GUI, and then I click on the "Design" tab, I get "This is not a GUI class and can't be edited graphically" (even though I chose an option for WindowBuilder when creating the class).

When I open classes that already contain (working) GUIs, I get "Unknown GUI Toolkit."

Is there a way to get WindowBuilder running, or perhaps is there a better solution?

and on "type filter text" write "Swing Designer" . install that and you should be fine ..
