JFormDesigner is simply incredible: no other GUI builder I've ever tried is so smooth :).
I just wish it had support for the other jgoodies too: like binding and validation, and also for the SwingX components (I know that any bean can be added to the palette, but that's just not the same as "support" - just look at jxtree or jxtable, or other advanced components).
Thank you,
Adrian.
