embed a composite control in a table or list? [message #447654]

I'm new to SWT. I'm trying to create a list of composite controls (see the
layout scatch below). Each composite control contains an image on the left
and one title text and one description text on the right. The size of the
composite control varies depending the length .
----------------------------------------
| | TITLE |
| Image | description xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | xxxxxxxxxxx
----------------------------------------
| | TITLE |
| Image | description xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
----------------------------------------
| | TITLE |
| Image | description xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
----------------------------------------

I try to use a 1-column Table control and then add the composite controls
into the table cells using TableEditor. But it seems that the height of the
table cell is fixed. I cannot see the full composite control (most portion
is chopped). Can someone tell me what widgets to use for the layout? Your
help is highly appreciated.

Right now, tables can't have variable sized rows. Also, the height of each
row is dictated by the font or the height of the first image that is
inserted into the table (thanks Microsoft).

Is there an existing widget that I can use for hosting my composite control
(see scatch below)? I'm wondering if I can re-use some widget without
writing my own.

----------------------------------------
| | TITLE (variable length) |
| Image | description xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
| | xxxxxxxxxxx (vairable length)|
