[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Looking for layout ideas

I'm trying to build a forms-based editor with two collapsible sections stacked vertically on the page. I'd like them to split the vertical space evenly between them, but when one of them is collapsed have the other grab the extra space. This is simiar to what the plugin.xml editor does on its Dependencies tab, where the "Required.." section will take the extra space until the "Automated Management..." section is expanded, except in that case the "Required..." section is not collapsible; in my scenario, both sections are collapsible.

I can make this work where SectionA gets "greedy" when SectionB is collapsed, but not so that SectionB also is greedy when SectionA is collapsed.

I've thought of using a vertical Sash instead of collapsible sections, but that would be a lsat resort option - my client would much rather use collapsible sections.
Any ideas for layouts that would accomplish that?


TIA,
Eric
