You prefer to write the code yourself => plain Java project.

You prefer GUI builder => install the plugin and then pick Swing project 
type.

I don't see a GUI Builder for Eclipse.  Can you provide a link please?

It is called WindowBuilder.

You can find it in Eclipse MarketPlace by name.

You googled for "Eclipse GUI builder" and didn't find even one ? I find
that claim hard to believe.

In the meantime, there are a few good suggestions here:

I have no evidence that this is the easiest way, but it's the way I first tried 
in response to this question:

- Open Eclipse.
- Menu: File New Project
- New project dialog: "Java Project" Next> (I have no Swing plugin)
- Project Name: "Whatever", "Use default location", Next> 
- Finish

Context-menu click on project in "Package Explorer" window
- "New"  >  "Class"
- Package: "com.example.whatever"
- Name: "Example"
- Check "public static void main(String[] args)" and "Generate comments"
- Finish

You get:

/**
 * Example.
 */
package com.example.whatever;

/**
 * Example.
 * 
 */
public class Example {

    /**
     * main.
     * 
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

}

Then start adding Swingish stuff.

public class Example {
    private static final String TITLE="Example Swing App";

    static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Example.class.getSimpleName());

    private final JFrame appWindow = new JFrame(TITLE);

    /**
     * Constructor.
     */
    public Example()
    {
        appWindow.pack();
    }

    /**
     * Run the screen.
     */
    public void run()
    {
        appWindow.setVisible(true);
    }

    /**
     * main.
     * 
     * @param args String array of arguments.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        logger.fine("main()");

        Runnable gui = new Runnable() 
        {
          @Override public void run()
          {
              new Example().run();
          }
        };
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(gui);
    }

}
