In previous versions of Redhawk, specifically 1.8.2, 1.7.5, and 1.7.2, Windows Builder Pro was included with the Redhawk installation. However, in Redhawk 1.9.0 Window Builder is not an option for editing Control Panels.
Redhawk 1.9.0 is based on Eclipse 3.8.1 (Luna), so I tried installing Window Builder Pro myself by following the instructions for Eclipse 3.8 at http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php. I was able to successfully install Window Builder, but when I created a new component control panel and attempted to edit it using Window Builder I get the error below.
WindowBuilder was not able to show the GUI. Please read the description below and look bug tracking system or discussion group for more information. Press "Create Report..." button and create a new issue if you were not able to found the similar one.
The parser parsed the compilation unit, but can't identify
any GUI toolkit, so WindowBuilder can't display any GUI to edit. This can be caused by one of the
following reasons:
This class is not an editable UI class and contains no UI components.
WindowBuilder does not recognize the GUI toolkit or library used in this class.
WindowBuilder does not understand this GUI type/pattern in a supported GUI toolkit.
Problems exist with the classpath. For example, the compilation unit uses SWT classes, but the
SWT/JFace libraries are not included into the classpath.

Did Redhawk drop support for Window Builder in version 1.9.0? What else needs to be configured to allow Window Builder to recognize a Redhawk control panel?
