This is actually caused because you have overridden getLayout() and 
returned a layout with multiple columns.  The line is created in the 
createTrimWidgets(Shell) method, which is called inside 
ApplicationWindow.configureShell(Shell).

To make the separator display properly, you should set an appropriate 
layout data on the separator (using the getSeperator1() method) right 
after calling super.configureShell(Shell) in your own configureShell method.

Or just get rid of the separator by overriding showTopSeperator() to 
return false.
