[platform-ui-dev] How to contibute an item to the status line that's sha

[Nathan Ridge <zeratul976@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I'm writing a plugin and I would like it to contribute an item (status field) to the status line that's "global", i.e. not specific to a particular editor or view.

The existing contributions to the status line that I could find are done via EditorActionBarContributor, but those are specific to an editor.

I was able to get it to work by using either WorkbenchPage.getActionBars().getStatusLineManager() or WorkbenchWindow.getStatusLineManager() to access the window's global status line manager, but neither of those is public API. Is there a supported, public-API way to contribute to the global status line?

Thanks,
Nate
