JFace examples in Eclipse like SWT Examples?

Are there any all-in-one JFace controls example out there like the SWT Examples in Eclipse? Searching (googling and searching here on stackoverflow.com) did not help me.

It would be nice if it was a standalone app or an eclipse plugin.

Thank you.

The framework tries to hide some of the complexity of developing forms from you; as with all frameworks there might be points in time where it just does not work and you have to dig deeper into the secrets of SWT, JFace, UI Forms or Databinding
