At present, the chosen answer has become OBE (overcome by events -- obsolete).

In order to install WindowBuilder offline, you must download one of the code repositories listed below. (discussion here)

  • For Eclipse Neon, Oxygen, Photon, 2018 & 2019 (versions 4.6 to 4.11) download an upgraded WB repository.

On the left side of the page, download "repository.zip" (click 'Show Directory Contents' if you don't see that. It should show up.)

Unzip the download.

In Eclipse, select "Install New Software" (under the Help menu).

Click "Add.." to choose the new repository.
Click "Local...", "Browse For Folder" and select the unzipped "repository" folder, then click "OK".
Click the other "OK" (or "Add"), too.

Check the box next to "WindowBuilder". (It should be in the large, open pane of the "Install" window.). Then click "Next>" and all other affirmative options until done.

    Thanks for this! I had to copy the jar files in the repository/plugins folder to user/.p2/pool/plugins , because updater was failing to dl and extract the plugin files. – Alex Byrth Jul 28 '19 at 13:36

Eclipse Mars and Eclipse Neon supports windowbuilder (I only worked with them, but I suppose every version of Eclipse supports windowbuilder). If you download Eclipse Mars v2, you will have windowbuilder by default. For Eclipse Neon, you must download windowbuilder.

Here is the link where you can find windowbuilder. Just follow the instructions http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php
