I try to create tool tips for each column head in a SWT Table.
Can anybody help, on how to do this?

Daniel,

This is not supported, though there's a request for it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4572 .

You should be able to fake it by listening for mouse events, detect when a
hover occurs in the range of the column header, and show a fake tooltip.
For an example of a fake tooltip see
