This is the only one I know of.  Go here:

http://www.borland.com/techpubs/jbuilder/index3-w.html

and scroll down.  You can either run it across the web or download a
copy locally.

Our online docs, however, talk about converting and have some tips.  The
most common tip I give out is to use XY layout and use the alignment
tools to make everything line up correctly, be sized the same, etc. and
then convert to GBL.  You'll still have to tweak insets, weights, etc.,
to get things perfect.  I suspect you are trying to make the adjustments
by dragging; use the constraints editor instead (launch it from the
design surface and the editor will stay onscreen so you can see the
results with the Apply button).
