Adding a control to the toolbar [message #330166]

Hi,

I have managed to add a control to the status bar with this extension:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status">
<toolbar
id="com.jobisjob.line.count">
<control
class="com.jobisjob.ui.linecount.LineCountControl"
id="com.jobisjob.ui.grid.view.LineCountControl">
</control>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
</extension>

Now, I want to do the same to the toolbar of the RCP app. Currently I
haven't defined any actionSets nor toolbars.

<menuContribution

locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions ">
<toolbar
id="com.jobisjob.location.bar">
<control
class="com.jobisjob.ui.linecount.LineCountControl"
id="com.jobisjob.ui.grid.view.LineCountControl">
</control>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>

It doesn't display anything. :-(

I have tried to do it in the ActionBarAdvisor, but I'm a little lost.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have managed to show it:

configurer.setShowCoolBar(true); must be called.

I was confused by the fact that at first, the toolbar area was shown empty
and with a height 3 times of a normal toolbar, when I enabled the cool
bar. Maybe now it works because I have deleted my workspace data.
