First of all you can start from the "Plugin with a View" sample (see
http://www.eclipsepluginsite.com/eclipse-plugin-development-2.html ). This
sample creates the necesary code and files for the plugin. Then you can add
in the view class your GUI objects. If you have a SWT GUI you can add it as
a simple widget in the view plugin. If your GUI is a SWING GUI I think there
is a SWT composite that can contain the SWING GUI.
