Visual GUI Buider - eclipse

Is there a visual GUI builder, such as GWTDesigner that one could use in developing with Grails? I am new to Grails and am presently working from the command line and using a text editor. I have briefly looked at using Eclipse and Netbeans as IDEs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know of a specific GUI builder for Grails, but if I'd had to choose between Eclipse and Netbeans, then Netbeans clearly wins here - I'd start with it. Just make sure you install Grails support in Netbeans first.

Failed to create javafx flatform in netbeans

I got this error when I'm trying to create a Java Swing Application, by using Netbeans.
I really don't know how to fix this error. Internet did't give me a really good answer.
I Unistalled Netbeans & then reInstalled. but It doesn't work.
How can I fix this error. Thank you.
I don't have a NetBeans installation at hand, but have a look at your Java installations configured in NetBeans ("Java Platform Manager" in Tools menu?). Select the Java version you are using. There should be a JavaFX tab. I think you can disable it there, if you don't need it.
Note: If you're using the latest Java version from Oracle, then JavaFX should automatically be configured correctly, since JavaFX is now shipped with the JDK.

Plug-in for Eclipse

I am developing a plug-in for eclipse for JSHOP2 language. For that i made a plug-in project with 'editor'. I have written the code for the neceessary syntax highlighting for JSHOP2 but I don't know how to integrate this types of plug-in with eclipse and then how to take use of it, so that while i write the JSHOP2 code the necessary syntax gets highlighted. Please help me with this.
So you have an editor that works correctly?
Then you need to make sure the files with your extension are opened with your editor. That is described in the Eclipse wiki.
To make sure your plugin is integrated to your version of Eclipse, either create an update site and import the plugin as you would do with any other plugin. Or export the plugin to a jar and copy the jar to the dropins catalog.
Since you are using eclipse to write java code (plug-in project). Create a new eclipse launch configuration. Menu Run -> Run Configuration. Location eclipse application. Right click -> Create new & Run. Hope this helps.

Need suggestions on which plugin to install from eclipse market?

I am developing a new plugin in eclipse. I need a plugin from internet (for eclipse, of course) which I can dissect and understand its implementation (by looking into plugin.xml etc.). It would help me create my own plugin.
I want your help in suggesting some plug-ins which I download and dissect, so that i can use that logic to make my own plugin?
I will now give an insight to my proposed plugin:::
My plugin would take in some input via a GUI interface from the user and then I should be able to convert all the user input into a text file and trigger a perl script. It sounds sloppy, but I am completely new to Eclipse and Plugins.
I just need some suggestions from you experts.
Thanks a lot!!!
If you download either the Eclipse Classic package or the Eclipse for RCP Developers package, they include source for Eclipse itself. You can use the Eclipse plugins themselves as examples.

Netbeans Visual Library into Eclipse Editors

Does anyone know if it is possible to use/embed the Netbeans Visual Library into the a Eclipse Editor in order to develop plugins for Eclipse.
I was taking a look to the GEF Project from Eclipse and I think that Netbeans Visual Library is easier to use than GEF.
Thanks!
You don't want to do that. Anything UI related from Netbeans is going to be Swing-based. Eclipse is SWT-based. Mixing the too UI stacks is possible with SWT-AWT bridge, but there are numerous issues with the bridge. You are far better off learning GEF.

Integrated Terminal Window in NetBeans?

I recently started using NetBeans, but there is a missing feature which keeps me from switching completely to NetBeans. I use the Terminal all the time and it is a pain to switch from the NetBeans window to the Terminal one.
Is there a way to have a terminal window embedded into the NetBeans IDE (most Linux editors have this capability)?
A bit late answer. Netbeans 7.4 has an inbuilt support for terminal emulator. All you need is to go to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal.
Using NetBeans 8.0.2, this option can be found by going to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal in the menu.
have you seen this?

or this

I am not really seeing that much out there. I wonder how hard it would be to take the plugin from jEdit and integrate it into netbeans.
