I have a table where the bottom right headline is nearly empty and would allow me to build a more intuitive and concise UI if I could put there in addition to the headline text (left aligned) two buttons (right aligned).

I already googled a bit and looked at the code of table and didn't find an easy solution.

Does anybody know if such a thing would be possible?

And maybe even more important do you think it would be a good idea or am I violating good UI design on many levels?

Maybe at last a short overview on the use-case the table in question is in a property sheet and holds a list of items. The buttons would be add and remove and sofar placing the buttons on all sides of the table looked other awkward, required quite some mouse movement or used a lot of space. Therefore I'm looking for alternatives.

I think you're asking: can I embed one or more widgets inside a table cell?

Yes, you can using a TableEditor. See Snippet126 for an example. Just in case, the SWT snippets are a great source of examples.

In principle yes and I've seen this. But I want to use the table headline Cell and I want this one cell be different from the cells in this column.
