1Please don't be shy to study their respective Javadoc. The difference in their APIs, therefore their functionality, is evident. – Marko Topolnik Jan 12 '14 at 20:20

Not for me. I see it is different. But what are principles? – Suzan Cioc Jan 12 '14 at 20:55

On the left are JFace's MVC components, on the right are the raw SWT widgets. – Marko Topolnik Jan 12 '14 at 21:19

ComboViewer, TableViewer and ListViewer are part of the JFace Viewers. JFace Viewers simplify the mapping of a data model to a visual representation. If you have a data model then JFace Viewers are the easier API to work with.
