[news.eclipse.tools] accessing eclipse status bar with progress

["Michael Berkovich" <mberkov@xxxxxxxxx>]

The plugin i am developing (a table view) has a couple of actions that take
some time to execute. I would like to show a user the progress of the action
execution in the eclipse window status bar. How do i get this to work?

(It is pretty straight forward with wizards, but i can't find any
documentation on working with the progress bar of the main window.)

Thank you in advance,
Mike.
