Philippe,

You do not need to set a FillLayout on the TabFolder, the TabFolder by
default sets the size of its TabItem content to fill the client area of the
tab item.

You are setting GridData on an item that is in a FillLayout - not good -
since FillLayout does not have any associated LayoutData you get away with
it in this case but in general it will cause a ClassCastException if you set
the wrong type of layout data in a control (I think this is just a remnant
of the fact that you removed an intermediate Composite).
