The Eclipse Visual Editor Project is proud to announce today the immediate availability of Milestone 2 (M2) of the Eclipse Visual Editor (VE), a graphical user interface editor for Swing and SWT.

“With the Visual Editor Project, we have made it significantly easier for programmers to create both Swing and SWT user interfaces. This will make it much easier to create user interfaces both for Eclipse’s new Rich Client Platform and for traditional Swing applications,” said David Orme, leader of the Visual Editor Project.

New features in the M2 build of VE include full support for Eclipse 3.0, support for Linux/GTK, and initial but fairly solid support for SWT. In addition, there have been several usability enhancements to the editor that will make programmers’ lives easier when creating graphical user interfaces.

Additional improvements include:

* Graphical GridLayout editor for SWT
* Fully floatable, dockable palette view
* New extensible Visual Class Wizard
* New layout customization window for setting options in SWT layout managers.
* Much more…
