[platform-ui-dev] cannot create dynamic Status bar controls in eclipse 4

["Lee, Alain" <a-lee@xxxxxx>]

I need to dynamically create some Status Bar controls. It works fine in Eclipse 3.8 but the dynamic controls do not appear  in Eclipse 4.2. Is this still supported in 4.2?

 

This is how I defined my tool bar in plugin.xml:

 

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">

    <menuContribution

       locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status">

              <toolbar id="my.toolbar.test">

              <dynamic

              class="my.status.myStatusBar"

                id=" my.toolbar.test.items">

              </dynamic>

              </toolbar>

   </menuContribution>

</extension>

 

Where my.status.myStatusBar extends from WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.

 

This works in 4.2 only if I define the toolbar using the <control> tag.

 

Is this a bug?
