Two good tools:

Autocode is pretty good if you're cranking out C sunview applications.
you have to know the difference between a frame and a panel, and you
have to really be a C programmer to fill in the blanks between the
window code.  Definitely cuts the user interface portion of sunview
programming to nothing.  Window design is interactive - pasting the
window code into your application is not.

Tooltool is the real thing, though.  A good shell programmer can
generate a sunview application in *20 minutes*.  I'm not kidding -
tooltool is an incredible piece of software, and it's free!  I;ve wanted
to put out 'moriatool' for 6 months, but never had the time to do it -
with tooltool, I realized the dream in 30 minutes.  Window design is
non-interactive, but the programming language is flexible enough that
you don't miss interactivity too much.  It's available in
source form from the sun archive server at Rice U.
