Everyone I recently installed java JDK. However, I am not able to program GUI applications. For instance when i want to program anything from "swing" components i cannot include Buttons, Labels, Text, etc.

As a developing tool I am using Eclipse.

Can someone tell me if I am missing something.

Eclipse doesn't come with default UI editing tools. You have to install extra plugins to get that sort of UI. Eclipse WindowBuilder is the best plugin I find to create a Swing UI.
