Making it conform from within Java is very difficult (because you need to special-case lots of stuff, like "if I'm on Aqua, buttons need to be X pixels apart

Haven't any of the UI builders gotten sofisticated enough that the layout of the UI can be made parametric? By parametric I mean that the placement of UI objects are defined with respect to each other instead of some absolute position in the window. Where the minimum size of a window is limited by the stackup of objects within it.

Ack.. Or is it just that those builders are still too expensive for widespread use?
