Can anyone recommend a good open source Swing library? In particular one that includes better LayoutManager implementations than come with the JDK?

I know that SwingLabs has some extra layout managers in their SwingX project.

FormLayout from JGoodies is pretty much the choice of champions for serious swing development. A bit complicated, but very powerful and much more pleasant than GridBag IMHO. Also MigLayout looks interesting. It's built on top of FormLayout so promises to make it easier to use, although I haven't tried it yet.
