What would be involved in adding support for other JVM languages to WindowBuilder? Can the parser and code generator be extended?

Yes. The parser and code generator can both be extended (or new ones added as the case may be). WB currently supports parsing Java code and XML (two different parsers). Note that adding support for a new language is no small undertaking, so you should thoroughly understand the existing parser and code gen first.
