I'm not a proficient GUI developer, and I have no talent for design. Is there a comprehensive style guide for developing SWT applications? I'm especially interested in standards for developing layouts, what margins and spacing between controls to use, font sizes and stuff like that.

The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) is a Java based user interface library for developing desktop application. SWT supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It provides lots of standard widgets, e.g., buttons and text fields as well as the option to create custom widgets. SWT uses the native widgets of the platform whenever possible.
To create a desktop application using SWT. On the Eclipse, we will create an RCP Plugin Project. You have 2 options. Using the platform provided by the RCP to RCP Application Workbench programming In this document, I will guide you to become familiar with basic programming SWT, using WindowBuilder to drag and drop components into the interface.
Eclipse applications typically use SWT for the user interface. If you develop Eclipse plug-ins which extend the Eclipse IDE itself, you have to use SWT. This is because the Eclipse IDE Workbench uses an SWT renderer. For RCP applications it is possible to use other user interface toolkits than SWT, like JavaFX.
There is Eclipse User Interface guidelines. Also see some UI walk troughs in Eclipse User Interface Best Practices Working Group.
