I liked the idea that SwixML (and a few of the others, I suppose) stored the UI description outside of the Java code (more like a Cocoa .nib file).
Make sure you check out miglayout. I experimented with so many layout tools, from netbeans form layout xml files through to... well, lots of things. But miglayout is by far the easiest I've come across to describe the UI in code, with the benefit of not needing yet another tool to create the UI description in yet another obscure XML format. I know nothing about SwixML since that wasn't on the radar when I evaluated lots of these tools, so I'm talking more generally about the idea of abstracting Swing into some descriptive format.
