SWT FormLayout is quite powerful and flexible, but I don't use it 
because it takes a lot of code to get things done.  If you're accustomed 
to JGoodies FormLayout then I would suggest using GridLayout.  I usually 
get by with combinations of FillLayout, GridLayout and RowLayout.

However if you are migrating existing Swing code to SWT, I would use 
SwtForms.
