    Note that a GUI designer will not really help until you understand how to use and combine the layout managers. Once most programmers do understand the layouts, they don't like the bloated, obtuse code that 'code generators' churn out. – Andrew Thompson Aug 10 '12 at 14:39
  • @AndrewThompson Well it depends on how good your imagination is or how often you want to run your application to see how it looks. I don't use GUI designers but I can see the reason why some do... – brimborium Aug 10 '12 at 14:52
  • not so close related to the actual question but: do you know any framework, that will generate form basing on bean annotations? – Mateusz Chromiński Aug 10 '12 at 15:10

Not Eclipse, but quite powerful is the swing designer of Netbeans.

It generates the code you need, and has got a lot of features.
