Eclipse-based applications which are not primarily used as software development tools are called Eclipse RCP applications. An Eclipse 4 RCP application typically uses the base components of the Eclipse platform and adds additional application specific components.
The rich client platform (RCP) is a programmer tool that makes it easier to integrate independent software components, where most of the data processing occurs on the client side.
Eclipse Rich Client Platform helps in building java applications that are Application Platform independent. Eclipse Rich Client Platform can also be used for building non-IDE applications. Eclipse Rich Client Platform provides a general UI, which can be extended by developers to suit their business needs.
The Vogella's tutorial on RCP is both up-to-date and quite complete, and updated for E4, including its E4 CSS Spy and other Eclipse e4 Tools..
You can also read about the difference between plug-in, feature and product in eclipse RCP.

In addition to the RCP resources mentioned by VonC, for lower-level stuff (you mentioned creating a button) check out the SWT snippets: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/
