Is it possible to call a section in a SWT Project?
After i made below java SWT project,i run a application.
but i can't find a section.

1. source

public class HelloSwt {

protected Shell shell;

/**
* Launch the application.
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
HelloSwt window = new HelloSwt();
window.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

/**
* Open the window.
*/
public void open() {
Display display = Display.getDefault();
createContents(display);
shell.open();
shell.layout();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
}

/**
* Create contents of the window.
*/
protected void createContents(Display display) {
shell = new Shell();
shell.setSize(450, 300);
shell.setText("SWT Application");

FormToolkit toolkit = new FormToolkit(display);
Section section = toolkit.createSection(shell, Section.DESCRIPTION | Section.TITLE_BAR | Section.TWISTIE | Section.EXPANDED);

section.setText("This is the title");
section.setDescription("-= This is a description -=");

}
}
