I'd like to place a text field or combo on the cool bar next to the buttons. Is this possible? If so, how?

In the o.e.ui.menuContributions extension, use a control contribution

I.ex.:
IToolBarManager myTb = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.RIGHT);
coolBar.add(new ToolBarContributionItem(myTb, "MyTB"));

ControlContribution cc = new ControlContribution("my.cc"){
protected Control createControl(Composite parent)
{
final Combo combo = new Combo(parent);
return combo;
}
};
myTb.add(cc);
