I am trying to achieve something like
a floating property window. This should
always be on top of its parent shell,
but of course not on top of other windows.
What is the recommended style of doing this
with SWT?
I tried to create a shell with given parent,
but this seems to have no effect.

Use new Shell(Shell, int). That will create a dialog shell that stays on
top of the parent shell.
