Which Windoze IDEs handle java.awt.LayoutManager?

Popular Windoze IDEs such as Supercede and Visual Cafe work with absolute pixel coordinates. There is no custom LayoutManager support and even standard LayoutManagers don’t work properly in design mode. Using absolute coordinates causes trouble when changing GUIs as well as with TUIAWT. I have tried Supercede 1.0 and VC2.0. Both these products have other fine features, but proper LayoutManager support is not one of them. I have been told that JBuilder and Visual Age work properly with LayoutManager, but these products require 64M or more of RAM and a P200 which I don’t have, so I haven’t tried them. Update: Now that I have a P200 with 64M of RAM, JBuilder and Visual Age now require at least 128M RAM and 400MHz. The old versions are no longer available. Similar remarks apply to Forte for Java from Sun.
