JGoodies FormLayout (which is a nice layout) is more of an analog to the SWT 
GridLayout. SpringLayout is the closest Swing layout to the SWT FormLayout.

BTW, the only Eclipse GUI builder that supports all of the standard SWT and 
Swing layout managers as well as JGoodies FormLayout and the Matisse 
GroupLayout is our WindowBuilder Pro product...
