Perhaps JBuilder could work. It has an XY layout that
allows you/designer to just drop components onto the form. It can then
convert that into a GridBagLayout or whatever, just by changing the Layout
Manager property for the form.

FYI - the difficulties of Swing and layout managers
(and the lack of good tools like your request) are why we switched to .Net
and WinForms...
