One good replacement for XYLayout is Foam, which you can see at
http://www.computersinmotion.com There are demos where you can watch
Foam in action, and they make good tutorials. Foam combines the ease of
use of XYLayout with the power of a sophisticated layout engine.

Designs made with Foam are platform-neutral and much simpler to design
(and MAINTAIN!!!) than writing your layout in Java code, as with, say
GridBagLayout.

Check it out at http://www.computersinmotion.com
