Custom widget is not showing up in my eclipse 4 application

I am trying to use a widget offered by Opal.
I am doing the following: 

@PostConstruct  
public void createControls(Composite parent){  
   System.out.println("PROP3");  

   parent.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));        
   Composite propertyContainer = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);  
   propertyContainer.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));  

   GridData gd = new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true, true);  
   propertyContainer.setLayoutData(gd);  

   propertyTable = new PropertyTable(propertyContainer, SWT.NONE);  
   propertyTable.showButtons();  
   propertyTable.viewAsCategories();  

   propertyTable.addProperty(new PTProperty("id", "Identifier", "Description for identifier", "My id")).setCategory("General");  

   propertyTable.addProperty(new PTProperty("text", "Description", "Description for the description field", "blahblah...")).setCategory("General");         

}  

@Focus  
private boolean setFocus(){  
   return true;  
}

The code is associated with a Part and it runs and have no problem with other widgets but the PropertyTable is not displayed.
The code to create the PropertyTable is from their tutorial.
What am I messing up here and the PropertyTable is not being displayed?

You (usually) need to set layout data on any controls under a composite with a GridLayout. TabFolders use their own layout which doesn't need any layout data.
