This document describes the installation of the Visual Editor (VE) for Eclipse .

The Visual Editor allows the design of a GUI (Graphic-User-Interface) by drag and drop of elements. Thereafter it generates Java-code for displaying this User-Interface as part of a Java-program.
Additionally the VE has reverse-engineering capabilities; i.e. it can take the Java-code that displays a GUI and allow the graphic edit of this code.
