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

[Brian de Alwis <briandealwis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nate.

You can add a contribution to the org.eclipse.ui.trim.status area.  You can add a workbench control contribution too.

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">

     <menuContribution

            locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status?after=additions">

        <toolbar

               id="foo.bar">

           <command

                 commandId="random.command"

                 id="random.status.id">

           </command>

        </toolbar>

     </menuContribution>

   </extension>

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
