[news.eclipse.tools] Re: customize status bar..

[nmg_here@xxxxxxxxx (nmg)]

could not find any example at
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.StatusLineContributionItem, can you check that
once more? Moreover, i already have an access to statuslinemanager and i
can even setmessages in the status bar... what I am looking is to have
some divisions in the bar as seen normally in other standard applications.
I tried with contributionitem stuff but didnot get any positive results.
please help!
