As a heavy user of VAJ Enterprise we've grown very fond of the full life cycle environment as well as the visual composer for user interfaces and beans. It makes light work of keeping coordinated that which could become really nasty. Our only problem is that VAJ is getting long in the tooth and behind the times relative to the JRE levels.
Given that what's in the near term works for Eclipse that gives me and visual interface/bean building with consistent code generation and regeneration.

IBM's WebSphere Application Developer, a commercial product based on the Eclipse Platform, is the successor to VAJ and it has all those features.
If you want something outside of WebSphere, Eclipse doesn't provide that in the base download. However there are some plugins you can try, see: http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp?category=UI .

Scott Stanchfield works on a plug-in for Eclipse called Penumbra that will be like VCE. A first version for testers should appear soon (so he says :-).
His page is www.javadude.com.
