I want to show a message on status line while I am busy getting data. I
am using the code below.
bars = getViewSite().getActionBars();
statusLine = bars.getStatusLineManager();
statusLine.setMessage("Getting Applications...");

BusyIndicator.showWhile(this.getSite().getShell().getDisplay (), new
Runnable(){
public void run(){
applicationArr =
ApplicationClient.getApplications(txtSearchPartNum.getText() .trim(),
categoryFormat);
}
});

I want to show "Getting Applications..." on status line. However with
above the "Getting Applications..." does not show on Status line - it
shows after BusyIndicator has done running- how do I show at the same
time?

I would appreciate any answers.

You are blocking the display thread with your getApplications() call,
which prevents the display from being updated.

Consider putting your getApplications() in another thread, or running it
in a Display.asyncExec(). Alternatively, consider using the Jobs mechanism.
