[p2-dev] The updates are available notification

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This is not really p2 related, but I'm pretty sure someone lurking on
this list has implemented what I need, so I'll ask anyway.

When you have "Automatically find new updates and notify me" selected,
when updates are available, you get a notification box in the lower
right corner of your Eclipse window.

My question is: how is this notification implemented and is there
public API so that other plugins can contribute their own
notifications (completely unrelated to finding updates). Any help
finding the answer is appreciated.

thank,
Andrew
