Jim,
Using java.swing.Box is not currently supported by the VE. There's a
feature enhancement request for this support
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49431) but it's not
likely to get much attention in the near future. This would be an
excellent contribution from the Open Source community, should someone
want to tackle it.
Sorry that I don't have better news,

I searched for an existing bug, but 49431 just says, "Provide easy way
to add Box struts." I thought there was some other problem. I really
cannot believe this was omitted from VE, and it really will impact my
development.
Thank you for the response. If I do want to work on this, how would I
go about it?

Hi Jim,
Sorry, I just took a look at the Box API again and realized that the
issue with supporting it isn't as simple as implementing tooling to
graphically manipulate a Box. The VE currently doesn't support calling
factory methods to create graphical components that it needs to know
about. So the issue is that we can't deal with the Box.createXXX() methods.
There's a bug open against this problem:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48597
This may be addressed sooner than my previous pessimistic prediction, as
these sort of factory methods are important for the SWT code style. We
haven't had many people using the Box class, so haven't had many
complaints about our lack of support for it.
