Custom Status Line? [message #463008]

Hi,

Is it possible to created a custom status line? Basically what I want is to
have a status line that has , from left to right:

- Status message
- Some contribution
- Progress monitor
- Another contribution

One idea would be the change the order. Other idea would be to use a
contribution item instead of the stock progress monitor, but I haven't been
able to see where I could hook it in.

Any ideas? It is possible or reasonably easy?

Thanks a lot for any help,

Andres

You can't change the layout of the status line without changing Eclipse
source code (org.eclipse.ui.workbench).
Anyway, you can add status line contribution to the reserved areas:
- Fast Views
- Icon/Message
- Progress
- Contributions
- Job Progress
'Fast Views' area is shown only in case that fast views are enabled.
Contributions aren't allowed in this area.
'Job Progress' is shown if it is enabled (disabled by default).
You would add contributions to 'Icon/Message' and 'Contributions'.
See IStatusLineManager for details.

Sorry, my mistake. You can add status line contribution to
'Icon/Message' and 'Contributions' areas.
