I want to layout the objects in the compartment as a row right-justified. I
keep getting a stack of objects on the right. What gives? Is this a bug?

public IFigure createFigure() {
ResizableCompartmentFigure result = (ResizableCompartmentFigure) super
.createFigure();
FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout(true);
layout.setMajorAlignment(FlowLayout.ALIGN_RIGHTBOTTOM);
result.setLayoutManager(layout);
result.setTitleVisibility(false);
return result;
}

I found the answer by diving into the source code (as you all more
learned people probably expected me to do in the first place).

A ResizableCompartmentFigure contains two children figures, a Figure for
the text pane (optional) and the ScrollPane. The ScrollPane child object
has a child figure itself called content. Setting the
ResizableCompartmentFigure layout does nothing. Setting the ScrollPane
layout does bad things (because it expects the ScrollLayout). You must
instead set the layout of the ScrollPane child figure, as such:

public class FooBarCompartmentEditPart extends ListCompartmentEditPart {
....
/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public IFigure createFigure() {
ResizableCompartmentFigure result = (ResizableCompartmentFigure)
super.createFigure();
IFigure fig = result.getContentPane();
FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout(true);
layout.setMajorAlignment(FlowLayout.ALIGN_RIGHTBOTTOM);
fig.setLayoutManager(layout);
result.setTitleVisibility(false);
return result;
}
