I just gave it a quick look, and it seems pretty nifty.

I would personally not use it as it uses its own save file formats 
instead of Java code.  Modern GUI editors know how to work with the raw 
Java code generating a GUI, meaning that you do not have to use the tool 
to do a small change but can just edit the Java file.

I know that the Visual Editor in Eclipse can do this.   WSDCi also has a 
lot of iSeries components which I haven't used yet though (do not do GUI 
at the moment).

So my personal opinion is that this is a dead end.

Best regards,
