We are using a customization of MessageDialog. One of its changes is that we only want to have a single column in the grid. This can't be easily customized since IconAndMessageDialog#getColumnCount is package private. I'd like to request changing the visibility to protected in order to allow clients to customize it.

As a workaround the GridLayout can be modified as follows:

    @Override
    protected Control createContents(Composite parent) {
        Composite composite = (Composite) super.createContents(parent);
        GridLayout layout = (GridLayout) composite.getLayout();
        layout.numColumns = 1;
        return composite;
    }
