A:
The Vogella's tutorial on RCP is both up-to-date and quite complete.
You can also read about the difference between plug-in, feature and product in eclipse RCP.

A:
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/

I'd suggest looking at the built-in example applications , especially the mail application they're quite helpful.
And every time you run into something you don't understand - check out the plugin.xml the answer is probably there =)

A:
In addition to online resources, there are some good introductory books, including:
- Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel's "Eclipse plugins," Addison-Wesley.
- Vladimir Silva's "Practical Eclipse Rich Client Platform Projects", Apress.
- Other books in the Addison-Wesley Eclipse series, such as Steve Northover and Mike Wilson's "SWT: The standard widget toolkit" (from 2004, but still useful).
