QT Designer actually does this. When you create widgets in QT designer, all you are doing is creating an XML file. Then, you run a sort of qmake on the XML files and it generates the C++ code for you. Then you of course run make or nmake and 'viola'. There is a port of the qmake for JAVA, I think it is called something like QtJava. It's basically a java program that takes QT's XML files and writes your JAVA code for you with all the SWING components. It's still not where it could be because you are allowing QT to set the standard for the Widget descriptions in the XML file, but at least someone has the right idea.
