    Ooooh! That sounds very useful!

    What's the name/url of it? Is it GEF (http://www.eclipse.org/gef/) or VE (http://www.eclipse.org/vep/) by any chance or is it something else altogether?

    I was working on something that required a little bit of GUI glue, but I ended up coding it by hand (probably more efficient that way), which is good for the soul (and the imagination), but sometimes it's useful to have something like that for pure speed/convenience. Plus, it could be useful so I can learn the tricks to laying something out in a particular way.

    (Sorry if I'm jumping straight into a very stupid question, I'm new to the board so I'm not sure of ettiquette here but the plugin sounds quite useful - especially as I'm a compsci student)

    Thanks,
    Phantom Beaker.
