What I mean by this is How do I make my SWT GUI's controls expand or shrink whenever the user resizes the window? Do I have to use a layout or something? yes I am slowly migrating to the more based eclipse.

Yes, generally you'll want to use a layout manager for most of your UI's container elements

#

And especially useful is the GridBagLayout, which is a bit verbose, but gives you (in my opinion) the most flexibility.

(I chose SWT because it looks native, and looks like something that could look more, "natural" in literally every supported Operating System)
