I think the setters should be named set*().

And perhaps it isn't as nice as it could be. There is no way to switch
from one type of builder to another, and to express the layout of the UI
in the code. Something like this would be nice:

void createUI(Composite parent) {
     WidgetBuilder.startVGroup(parent)
         .startHGroup()
             .addLabel()
                 .setText("Text:")
                 .end()
             .addText()
                 .setLimit(10)
                 .end()
             .end()
         .startHGroup()
             .addGlue()
             .addButton()
                 .setText("OK")
                 .end()
             .end()
         .end();
}

There are of course numerous alternative ways for the above, of which
the pros and cons can be discussed. But if the end result is the
possibility for such a construct, it would be nice.

Best regards,
-Stephan
