Then ask the question yourself.  Sun's forums are read/write, not read-only.

GroupLayout is a Java 6 standard class.  It won't be used a lot on Mac OS
X, because Java 6 is still only in preview, and under NDA.

IIRC, GroupLayout is also included with NetBeans.  So you might ask on a
NetBeans support forum, too.

And there's a note (in the comments) on using INDENT instead of gaps:
  <http://weblogs.java.net/blog/tpavek/archive/2006/03/getting_to_know.html>

Maybe post a comment there.

I don't see why indentation would be less applicable to Windows layouts.
If a layout is complex enough to benefit from indents (as distinct from
gaps), then it will benefit from them on any platform.  Visual clarity is
visual clarity regardless of platform.
