FYI, Viewers (eg, TableViewer, TreeViewer, etc) are part of JFace, not 
SWT. JFace is a layer above SWT; it uses SWT but provides higher-level 
abstractions and MVC-like APIs.

You need to use the table editing APIs; a button would qualify as a cell 
editor, not a label. Start by looking at the class 
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.EditingSupport and its friends.
The JFace snippets will probably help you because they have examples of 
various kinds of table cell editors, including ones that put a button in 
the cell.
