The bad news first: AFAIK there isn't any kind of UI wizard eclipse
plug-in for any kind of C/C++ GUI-toolkit.

The good new: GLADE! 
http://glade.gnome.org/   

The UI you created with glade is stored into a xml file. There is no
need to generate code:
http://gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch23.html
(Note: a >library< named "libglademm" does the work)

For learning gtkmm it may also be useful to generate code out of glades
xml files. This can be done by:
a >application< named "glademm" - http://home.wtal.de/petig/Gtk/
