Matisse is swing only, not sure I have met window builder. I tried the 
standard Eclipse GUI builder but due to its limitations (Grid Layout) I 
do not yet recommend it at this time.
Usually I just use form layout and take my lumps. To speed up user 
interface development I find it more important to focus on the Eclipse 
User Interface Guidelines then to use a GUI builder. The hard part is 
making decisions, the guidelines help with that.
