On Java 17 WindowBuilder was not able to show the GUI. .wbp-component.xml description for component javax.swing.JFrame


I'm using Eclipse 2021-9 version and already have Window builder installed. this error happens when I click the designer tab.

WindowBuilder was not able to show the GUI. unable to load *.wbp-component.xml description for component javax.swing.JFrame

Can anybody help me?

I am running Java 17 on Macbook Pro M1 Max 16" and Monterey 12.0.1

I looked up this thread:

WindowBuilder was not able to show the GUI. unable to load *.wbp-component.xml description for component javax.swing.JFrame

I followed all the steps exactly, but still I am getting this error.

I also tried the steps given in this link: WindowBuilder Design Tab incomplete in Eclipse

But I am still getting the same error

Here is my error: Error Found

Here is what I have tried according to the previous post:

Installed latest version of Window Builder Nightly Build

Solution

  • This issue was resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling eclipse. After installing Eclipse, first install only windows builder & then install rest of the plugins as required.
