Getting a handle to IStatusLineManager [message #465062]

I need to get a handle to IStatusLineManager so that I can update the
status bar. I'd like to do this outside of the
ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor which seems to be the only place I can
get the handle via the IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer. I want to update the
status bar when an editor comes into focus but I really don't want to
setup a part listener in ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor if I can avoid
it.

Troy,
You can get an handle of the status line manager through the
getStatusLineManager() method.
In your editor class use
getEditorSite().getActionBars().getStatusLineManager() to get hold of the
same.
getActionBars will return the actionbars that correspond to your editor
site through which you can access the status line manager.
