Eclipse RCP - good Eclipse Forms tutorial/resource

I'm looking for resources to learn how to use effectively Eclipse forms within an Eclipse RCP application. I was trying to use the newest SWT Window Builder plugin on Indigo but building forms this way doesn't really work for me eg. cannot put anything inside expandable composite etc. (I have Swing background with Netbeans designer) and I'm new to SWT. All I can find so far is this quite old tutorial from 2005. Any help, point to good tutorial/book/source code sample will be highly appreciated.

I've also got the hint to start with vogella but after the first 2 topics I realized It's to hard to start with.

What helped me much more was to create each example/sample project and look for the source. Once you understood how all works you can lookup at vogella what you exactly need.

Not much changed actually since the old 2005 tutorial so it's still very usable. Check these out in addition too:
