Is this what you mean:

public static void main (String [] args) {
        Display display = new Display ();
        Shell shell = new Shell (display);
        shell.setLayout(new FormLayout());
        Composite top = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
        Composite middle = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
        Composite bottom = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
        FormData data = new FormData();
        data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
        data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
        data.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
        data.height = 200;
        top.setLayoutData(data);
        data = new FormData();
        data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
        data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
        data.top = new FormAttachment(top, 5);
        data.bottom = new FormAttachment(bottom, -5);
        middle.setLayoutData(data);
        data = new FormData();
        data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
        data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
        data.bottom = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
        data.height = 200;
        bottom.setLayoutData(data);
        shell.open ();
        while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
                if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
        }
        display.dispose ();
}
