I tried to use nested containers with the JFace API in Zest 1.1. But when displaying the nodes, every subnode is presented in a single line.

The same behaviour can be observed with the GraphJFaceSnippet7.java snippet from the CVS.

My suggestion is twofolds: first, it would be great if there would be a solution to define the sublayouts (if it is possible, then please tell me, how, I couldn't find it); second, if no layout is set to the composite node, the layout of the graph viewer could be applied.
