Description Prabhakar Sabnis CLA 2021-04-29 06:25:21 EDT 
Created attachment 286263 [details]
simple jframe program opened in designed tab.(it is just blank frame)

I have a MacBook air with an m1 processor. I have installed Eclipse on my system for java programming. I installed Window builder's latest version and also installed the required swing and window builder software from eclipse marketplace for GUI development. when I created the JFrame and executed it, the frame appeared. But when I switched to the design tab it's blank. I also tried this on eclipse 2021-06, but still, the result is the same. The design tab is still not working.
Also, I Extended the class to Jframe as well as I have updated and reinstalled the window builder.

Moving to SWT , as this is not a jdt ui issue.
Comment 2 Lakshmi P Shanmugam CLA 2021-05-11 01:26:18 EDT 
Are you using the Mac x86_64 build? Can you please try with the Eclipse build for Mac AArch64, do you see the same problem?

I think this has nothing to do with the Mac built but with this bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=572210

As described as a workaround add:

--illegal-access=permit 

to the Eclipse.ini
