I want to add some components to the status line in Eclipse (text, menu,
etc). Can I write a plugin that does just that or does the status line
have to be associated with a specific view and anything added to the
status bar would only be associated with that view I created.
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Are you writing a plugin for Eclipse platform, or writing an rich client
application based on Eclipse technology?
If a plugin, then yes, the current view/editor can contribute items to the
status bar. These are removed when another view/editor becomes available.
There is no API to add something to the status bar that is always visible.
If an application, then you could override the WorkbenchWindow to add the
contributions you want.
