I have been looking for something like that too.
The only thing that I found so far is SpecTcl.
It is a GUI Builder written in Tcl/TK to create Tcl/TK GUI's.
It can also create Java code. Unfortunately it will only use awt
components and the number of components are limited.
I started hacking up the code to use swing components instead of awt.
The code it generated is actually better (more readable) then the code
some of the IDE generate. This is of course my humble opinion.
It is a little bit buggy but for the most part it will do what you
want.
You can find it on the Scriptics home page. It's free and the source is
available so you can modify it to your and others needs.
As far as I know nobody is maintaining it at this point.

Good luck. Let me know if you hear of any other tool.
Thanks,
Olaf Schneider

Subject: gui builder
Does anyone else find themselves saying: I use
emacs/jde and DO NOT want the overhead of an IDE environment
just to generate some gui screens.
Does anyone know of a simple gui builder that spits out
java (swing code would be ideal)? I just want soemthing that
lets me whip together JPanels that will snap into dialog boxes
and other places. Doing this sort of thing by hand is kind of
like making a PB&J sandwich with boxing gloves on.
It'd be great if there was some sort of addon to the emacs/jde that
provided some lift over hand coding gui screens.
Thanks for any pointers.
