[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Adding a control to the toolbar

[craquerpro@xxxxxxxx (David Perez)]

I have managed to show it:

configurer.setShowCoolBar(true); must be called.

I was confused by the fact that at first, the toolbar area was shown empty 
and with a height 3 times of a normal toolbar, when I enabled the cool 
bar.  Maybe now it works because I have deleted my workspace data.
