The docs have extensive discussions of creating various Eclipse plugin and RCP components. For example:

No component palette is visible.
What version of Eclipse are you using? What OS?
What version of Designer?
Are you using the Designer wizards to create your components?
Do any exceptions appear in your Eclipse ".log" file?

Yes. SWT Designer is the only Eclipse GUI tool available that provides the ability to create and edit all plugin and RCP GUI components.
BenH wrote:If so, how to get a component palette?
Assuming that the product is configured priperly, it should show up automatically. You should review the various
Designer FAQ entries to see if anything helps.
If that does not help, send us a test case.
