Starting today, there is a more official build for WindowBuilder on Neon: http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.6/ . You can monitor progress of the re-introduction of WindowBuilder into Neon.1 at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=498276 .

To install WindowBuilder in Eclipse Neon go to :
Eclipse Help-> Install New Software.
In the textbox for add enter this URL :
http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.6/ (as shown in screenshot)
Tick the Window Builder and click Add . Complete the installation.

See http://zaunerc.blogspot.fr/2016/06/windowbuilder-p2-update-site-for.html . Someone created a Neon-compatible build of WindowBuilder to consume until WindowBuilder officially provide a compatible alternative.

I downloaded the Windows 64-bit version of Eclipse.

I went to 'Help | Install New Software...' and entered the following URL to get WindowBuilder.

Kepler 4.3 (4.4 does not have a link yet)http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201309271200/4.3/

I then saw the following display:

The text of the error is:

I am not allowed to continue.

Pressing cancel and then new project | Other yields no WindowBuilder.

At one point, on a previous installation attempt (I subsequently deleted the contents of the folder and recopied from the zip file.), I got the URL to work, but there was no SWT, just Swing and WindowBuilder. On that attempt, The 'Install New Software...' and 2 other links disappeared from the Help menu, so I deleted everything, as I said. I then tried again, but keep seeing this error.

What newer version?

Thought:1. This morning I had jre 1.7 and jre 1.6 installed on my system, but did not see a point to jre 1.6, so I uninstalled the older version. I did restart the machine afterwards. I notice in the WindowBuilder versions column, see the image, that it says 1.6.1.43. I presume that has nothing to do with jre 1.7? The Window Preferences dialog shows jre 1.7, so I do not think so.

How do I get WindowBuilder/SWT/Swing to install on the 64-bit Eclipse?

UPDATE (will comment on comment shortly):I saw this article on StackOverflow, which said to type in Kepler in the install new software.

I did that and got punished for it, but at least I can forward the images. Basically, the 'Install New Software...' menu option and two others disappear, and there is no WindowBuilder on the new project other.

Windowbuilder For Eclipse Oxygen

Basically, I think that Eclipse is not quite ready for prime time and has bugs.

I will try to find and download the integrated version. I remember doing that once before, but did not see the integrated version at the eclipse download page, so I downloaded what I saw.

(Okay, I see that link. I just did not realize that was that.)

I am still new to Java programming, as I come from a Microsoft background.

The answer to this question is identical to the answer that I gave in question 22099190. I am copying the answer here. The answer applies to 32-bit or to 64-bit Eclipse.

How To Install Windowbuilder In Eclipse Mars

Installation Instructions

  1. Download 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers', not the EE version.

  2. Extract the files using WinZip, 7-Zip, or whatever, just not Windows built-in tool. See installation notes on Eclipse download page for this requirement. NOTE: DO NOT place files in the 'C:Program Files' folder on Windows 7. See here for note.

  3. BEFORE starting eclipse.exe, go to the environment settings and define the HOME variable and set that to %USERPROFILE%. You will need to log out and then log back in. Windows will not read the environment settings without doing this set and as such Eclipse.

  4. Install PortableGit-1.8.4-preview20130916 and add the path in the PATH variable.

  5. Start Eclipse.

  6. Go to 'Menu > Help > Install New Software...' and type in kepler. Select the SWT and WindowBuilder from the list. It was supposed to come prebundled, but did not, better this way. You will need to restart Eclipse.

  7. Turn on the error log, 'Menu > Windows > Show View > Error Log' to see any other errors that might exist.

I am still working on the EGit warning, but SWT exists.

I tried these steps repeatedly (deleting Eclipse folder and trying again) and the steps worked each of the times that I tried it. Yay!

Install the newest version of eclipse (E.g. Luna) (Fine for EE too).

Install the WindowBuilder plug-in through help->Install new software by providing the link 'http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/4.2'.
