Just want to place a single Text control in a Composite the occupies the
entire composite and stretches to fit when the composite is resized. Seems
simple, but I cannot figure out the magic.

You can try it like this:

Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.None);
composite.setLayout(new FillLayout());
Text text = new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER | SWT.MULTI);

or like this

Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.None);
composite.setLayout(new GridLayout());
Text text = new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER | SWT.MULTI);
text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));

Hope this helps.
