add toolbar to section

You can use ImageHyperLink control. I think that's what the PDE manifest editor uses.

Section section = new Section(parent, SWT.NONE);
Composite toolbar = new Composite(section, SWT.NONE);
RowLayout layout = new RowLayout(SWT.HORIZONTAL);
layout.marginLeft = 0;
layout.marginRight = 0;
layout.spacing = 0;
layout.marginTop = 0;
layout.marginBottom = 0;
toolbar.setLayout(layout);
parent.setTextClient(toolbar);

ImageHyperlink imageHyperLink = new ImageHyperlink(toolbar, SWT.CENTER);
imageHyperLink.setBackgroundImage(section.getBackgroundImage());
imageHyperLink.setToolTipText("Click me for help");
imageHyperLink.setImage(JFaceResources.getImage(Dialog.DLG_IMG_HELP));
imageHyperLink.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkAdapter()
{
    public void linkActivated(HyperlinkEvent e)
    {
         // Show help
    }
});

Here is how they create the toolbar:
    ToolBarManager toolBarManager = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT);
    ToolBar toolbar = toolBarManager.createControl(section);
    toolbar.setCursor(Display.getDefault().getSystemCursor(SWT.CURSOR_HAND));

    // Add sort action to the tool bar
    fSortAction = new SortAction(fExtensionTree, PDEUIMessages.ExtensionsPage_sortAlpha, null, null, this);
    toolBarManager.add(fSortAction);
    // Add collapse action to the tool bar
    fCollapseAction = new CollapseAction(fExtensionTree, PDEUIMessages.ExtensionsPage_collapseAll);
    toolBarManager.add(fCollapseAction);

    toolBarManager.update(true);

    section.setTextClient(toolbar);
EDIT:
This seems to work very well, too:
ToolBar toolbar = new ToolBar(section, SWT.NONE);
//add the toolitems here
//...
section.setTextClient(toolbar);
Do not let Window Builder Tool adapt the toolbar with FormToolkit, or you will get a white background painted.
