From the Boa Constructor web site:
Boa Constructor is a cross platform RAD GUI Building IDE. It offers visual frame creation and manipulation, an object inspector, many views on the source like inheritance hierarchies, object methods and properties, html generated from documentation strings, a debugger and integrated help.
