In that case shouldn't the Swing part of VE work on Mac OS X?
Right now I'm using Bean Builder to create basic Swing GUIs, but it
doesn't have a effective way to edit tabbed or split panels. How does
VE handle these types of composite panels?

For Swing, we use the Component.printAll(Graphics g) API which works
off
screen. SWT has no API to get off screen components. On Windows and

we are using native API to scrape the images. ... we need to be able

do so on OS X as well.
