Hey guys i just switched from intellj to eclipse,but the problem is when i am making a gui in eclipse if i change the code of the gui it does not change the design.Usually in intellij if you click the "make project" button it will generate the design from the code,how do i do that with eclipse?

I can always help out! What was your way around?

 

You have to "add" the actual button in the gui, because the built-in editor of eClipse constructs the frame by using the constructor of the class. 

 

For example:

startButton = new JButton();

getContentPane().add(startButton);
