Groovy supports a form of rapid swing ui prototyping using their SwingBuilder interface. You could possibly use this as an alternative. There is also a GroovySWT library that works in a similar fashion.

But, with all that said, note I said "quickly mock-up and prototype". D2JC is a great tool to make sure my model is valid and that the entities and relationships, delete-rules, and optionality I thought were proper on paper, actually work in practice. If they don't work (generate exceptions or are just "clunky"), I can make a change to the EOModel, rebuild and have a new app based on the new structure _literally_ within seconds without writing/rewriting/refactoring ANY code. The only thing better than Eclipse's refactoring tools, is not needing to refactor at all. Once I have tested and proved the model, it makes web development so much easier because I can simply concentrate on the logic and the UI.

As an FYI and a bit OT, an architecture similar to D2JC is supported via Cayenne Remote Object Persistence framework:

But alas - we don't deal with the Swing part of the equation, only with getting your objects, relationships and queries across the wire. IIRC rapid UI prototyping is still not an option in a Swing land.
