I need a property grid control (also known as a property list control), as
part of a preference pane. Does one exist in SWT, and if so, what's it
called? (Pardon my newbie-ness!)

What I'm looking for is something like the property grid in .NET; that is, a
multicolumn list where each entry is directly editable and new entries can
be created by clicking on a blank cell. (It's essentially the GUI of a
Map.)

Thanks!

There is the Properties View, but I don't think that is available in a
PreferencePage.
Also, it doesn't allow creation of new entries.
You may have to roll your own, using the Table widget and CellEditors.

See the following SWT snippets for examples of how to do this:

There is also a JFace layer using CellEditors that you can use instead. The
PropertySheet is an example of how to use the JFace layer.
