Hi,

I successfully managed to add a tool bar trim contribution to the Eclipse IDE's (extended element ID: org.eclipse.e4.legacy.ide.application) status bar (parent ID org.eclipse.ui.trim.status). Unfortunately, only Handled Toolitems and Direct Toolitems show up in the status bar. If I use a Tool Control instead, it is just not created:

public class ToolControl {

    @PostConstruct
    public void createControls(Composite parent) {
        Button button = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
        button.setText("Test");
    }
}

The @PostConstruct method is never called, even though the toolbar is rendered. What am I doing wrong? (FYI, my target platform is based on Neon M5.)

Is this bug 475254?

First, make sure you have a dependency to the package javax.annotation.
Your POJO may consume the wrong PostConstruct (from JRE).

You are right. An Import-Package: javax.inject solved the problem. Must jave gotten @PostConstruct from the wrong bundle. Thank you.
