It depends perhaps. From what Chouser has shown us, it can be really easy to
build GUIs with Qt Jambi. Maybe not as easy as with Glade and LibGlade, in
that you have to hook the signals to the slots manually it seems (correct me
please if I'm wrong). But still, very attractive.

There is of course Java-Gnome <http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/> too. Nice
architecture, and you can do all those nice things with LibGlade that I
mentioned before. But it's not available (yet?) for Windows unfortunately
(not that I actually care that much, but you know that OS is still
widespread.)

All in all, I personally would like to see Swing make the jump and start
offering such possibilities as well. Actually, it's more like NetBeans and
its Swing Designer that should come up with this kind of functionality, I
guess.

Just my two cents.
