As i was looking around on the tools, there was a program call "Eclipse" i have now been working with this just to see what i can make out of it, and guess what, today i found out that i am not a noob to this, i am way pass the word noob and have ider how to write a addon... so here comes the lazy question, are there any simple program, point and click, vola this is how your addon will look like in wow, and that way around learn the code use in and where.

Yes i have been on WoW HP and look at all thos files and the cute little tut they have in.. mabey i am just to stupid to understand it ;) well any way hope there are a kind soul that can point me in the right way with out makeing anything stupid

I've put out a simple addon called AddonTemplate. It doesn't have a GUI or anything but it can help you get started.

Check it out if you're interested: http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files/details/3462/addontemplate/

@dragonkeeper: It's a template, meaning that it gives you a foundation to build your own addon. If you want a UI and advanced coding done for you, you'll have to look elsewhere.

If you want more of a GUI interface, check this program out as well (not Mac compatible, as far as I can tell): http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?s=26c1b6429e3ace332eae6277ab548689&id=4222

The above has not been updated since December so I am not sure how much I would actually trust it.

The best advice I can give for writing an AddOn is to learn LUA and do it the old fashioned way. There are plenty of Tutorials and Sample Code out there readily available. There are also a large number of forums dedicated to this and if you ask questions I am sure there is somebody who would be glad to help.
