As of 3.1 use TreeEditor with Tree, TreeItem and TreeColumn
A TableTreeEditor is a manager for a Control that appears above a cell in a TableTree and tracks with the moving and resizing of that cell. It can be used to display a text widget above a cell in a TableTree so that the user can edit the contents of that cell. It can also be used to display a button that can launch a dialog for modifying the contents of the associated cell.

Here is an example of using a TableTreeEditor:

        final TableTree tableTree = new TableTree(shell, SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.HIDE_SELECTION);
        final Table table = tableTree.getTable();
        TableColumn column1 = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
        TableColumn column2 = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                TableTreeItem item = new TableTreeItem(tableTree, SWT.NONE);
                item.setText(0, "item " + i);
                item.setText(1, "edit this value");
                for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
                        TableTreeItem subitem = new TableTreeItem(item, SWT.NONE);
                        subitem.setText(0, "subitem " + i + " " + j);
                        subitem.setText(1, "edit this value");
                }
        }
        column1.setWidth(100);
        column2.pack();

        final TableTreeEditor editor = new TableTreeEditor(tableTree);
        //The editor must have the same size as the cell and must
        //not be any smaller than 50 pixels.
        editor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.LEFT;
        editor.grabHorizontal = true;
        editor.minimumWidth = 50;
        // editing the second column
        final int EDITABLECOLUMN = 1;

        tableTree.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
                public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                        // Clean up any previous editor control
                        Control oldEditor = editor.getEditor();
                        if (oldEditor != null) oldEditor.dispose();

                        // Identify the selected row
                        TableTreeItem item = (TableTreeItem)e.item;
                        if (item == null) return;

                        // The control that will be the editor must be a child of the Table
                        Text newEditor = new Text(table, SWT.NONE);
                        newEditor.setText(item.getText(EDITABLECOLUMN));
                        newEditor.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
                                public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
                                        Text text = (Text)editor.getEditor();
                                        editor.getItem().setText(EDITABLECOLUMN, text.getText());
                                }
                        });
                        newEditor.selectAll();
                        newEditor.setFocus();
                        editor.setEditor(newEditor, item, EDITABLECOLUMN);
                }
        });
