Is it possible for us to design a simple form Editor without outline using Sapphire, just similar to the pde editor overview page ?

Is the Form (part) is meant for that purpose ?

Take a look a this enhancement request:

No. A form is just a collection of input controls on canvas. It's not an editor page.

I'm hoping to get this contribution sorted out in time for the 0.4 release. In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with current patch, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Since the patch doesn't contain an update to the samples, you can find an example of its use here: https://github.com/rcernich/tools/tree/switchyard_editor/eclipse/plugins/org.switchyard.tools.ui.editor

FYI, the above example supports a dynamic model with some components being contributed by other plugins.
