That is easy to realize with image snapshot's of the actual checkbox's.
See e.g.

http://tom-eclipse-dev.blogspot.com/2007/01/tableviewers-and -nativelooking.html

or

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.s nippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippet s/viewers/Snippet061FakedNativeCellEditor.java?view=markup

The essence of the idea is that now your label provider can implement
at which locations the checkboxes (or other "widgets") occur.
