custom toolbar at bottom left using new API [message #332625]

I'm trying to add a toolbar using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension
point without resorting to deprecated elements.

However, I have not been able to figure out how to get it at the extreme
left of the bottom trim. Using the deprecated group, this works:

<group
id="org.myGroup">
<location>
<bar type="trim"/>
<order position="before" relativeTo="status"/>
</location>
</group>

However, when I try to use menuContribution and the locationURI
toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status, my toolbar always ends up on the far
right. From what I can see debugging, there is
"org.eclipse.jface.action.StatusLineManager" and
"org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ProgressRegion" before my toolbar.
But I've tried various ?before= and ?after= concoctions and nothing
seems to make any difference. Is what I'm trying to do impossible
declaratively using the new API?

toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status?before=org.eclipse.jface. action.StatusLineManager
should work (at least put it before the status line manager) ... if it
doesn't, please open a bug at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=UI&short_desc=[Trim]

Later,

Thanks for the response. I've tried that to no effect. Neither
"before" nor "after" seem to get picked up. I created a bug
