I have a SQL code(oracle), and now I want to code something in java to work as a user interface.(which means the user will be able to select what he wants to do(insertion,update,etc) just using a window with the options and a field do write the data he wants to insert,update,etc...

Does anyone know about an easy tool to do it?
I'using Eclipse SDK Version: 4.2.0

Thanks in advance!

You would need to use the JDBC to connect to a database.
JDBC

If your table represents objects - you can use an ORM, so that you dont have to deal with the SQL syntax.

If you're talking about using a GUI and are looking for a tool to help you create that, there's WindowBuilder Pro, which I believe can work with both Swing and SWT. It's one of the plugins available by default from Eclipse's update servers. Just go to Help->Install new Software and it's under General Purpose Tools

Not really a good idea
This GUI generator will generate horrible GUI layout that you won't be able to handle
Write your own GUI, it is not that difficult.

I didn't say it was a good idea. The original poster said they were looking for tools to help them build the UI. That's a tool that will help you do that. I don't personally advocate its use, but I'm not going to push that philosophy on people and if someone is specifically asking for one I'll give them an answer.

If you want to wave your e-peen around and be that petty, be my guest. I answered the OP's question. You're just being extremely petty.

In YOUR opinion. Sometimes people just want a quick and dirty way to do something, which that is. Sometimes they're not worried about reusability, and sometimes it's a one-off thing so they don't want to take the time to actually learn Swing or SWT. Sometimes they *do* want to learn and it's easier to look at how the builder does things than it is to learn every single thing from a Javadoc. Sometimes they want to code it by hand but use the GUI builder to check out what the UI looks like without recompiling and running the program every time.

In YOUR opinion, *any* tool to help build a UI would be a very bad suggestion. But that's what the OP was asking for so that's the answer I gave, and as I've just demonstrated, there are many good reasons they could have for wanting that. Perhaps you'd prefer that I ignore that possibility and instead give a lecture they weren't looking for. But I'm in the business of actually being helpful and giving useful answers, not of lecturing and preaching dogma.
