Depends on what GUI API system you are using?

Personally I'd go with SWT and get SWTDesigner (for eclipse). They have a free version which is pretty good.

The Visual Editor for Eclipse is very good and generates pretty readable code should you wish to hand edit it after generation.

Recommend the above VEP^ it's very good just look around for a few tutorials to get you started with it.
