Personally I've never gotten SWTDesigner to work exactly the way I wanted 
it to work. It's always approximate, especially if you want a complicated 
GUI.

I recently had to design a GUI in Java and tried using NetBeans. However, 
when I looked at the code it produced, I erased everything and rewrote it 
- which means I ended up designing the GUI by hand.

If you are to use Java and design a GUI, the best tool I've seen is 
JBuilder, but I haven't touched it for a few years. However, I'd really 
recommend a different language/toolkit.
