I'm looking to add simple Label to the status line, such that it is always
present if the Plugin is installed. In particular, it should not be bound to
any editor or view.
In this case, the Label should display the state of our continuous build
processes. The state should be displayed regardless of the editor or view that
is active. I can configure the data sources via a PreferencePage.
I've got something like this working for a View, put I would like it to be
displayed even when the View is not active.
If a "full-time" Status display "violates the principles" of Eclipse, it might
be reasonable to associate the continuous build Status display with a project
nature, and add this nature to various projects. That would allow different
projects to have different sources for their build status. Still, it means
figuring out a way for a nature to add to the status line.
Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

In 3.2 you can add a trim widget (with your label) beside the status
line. Then it will always be there and you can update it whenever you want.
See org.eclipse.ui.menus in 3.2
