Hi All,

My requirement is to update the status Line of the Eclipse IDE based on
the Status of the JMS Connection we use .

getStatusLineManager from postWindowOpen of the workbenchWindowAdvisor
provides a way to update the status line.

the StatusLineManager can also be accessed from a View or an Editor too .

But my Problem is that , the JMS related logic are neither in a View or
Editor.

How do i get to update the Status Line from a Class which is independent
of a view or an editor ?How do i get the statusLine context here ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Santosh,

If there are active views or editors you can query the workbench with
constructs like this:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getActiveEditor()
...

Otherwise save a reference to the StatusLineManager in your Advisor to pick
up later.

Best regards,

Wim Jongman

Hi Santhosh,

The chapter "Adding toolbars to trim areas" of the eclipse help page
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_cmd_menus.htm
explains how to add controls to a "trim" area.

hth,
