Several important considerations here:
1. Does it generate JFC/Swing code?
2. Is the generated code readable and maintainable without using
such a GUI tool?
3. Is the code "good" code? Ie, does it use gridbag layouts instead
of putting things at particular pixel points?
4. Is it written in pure Java code?
5. Is the generated code completely unencumbered? (Meaning, can
it be released under a GPL license.) A hint here is just
what they mean by non-commercial use; different vendors have
different takes on it.
