Finding a trim contribution [message #335532]

Once I have contributed an item to the status line trim, how can I find it
programmatically?

I have:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.trim.status">
<toolbar id="org.junit.max.ui.trim.toolbar">
<control
id="org.junit.max.ui.trim.widget"
class="org.junit.max.ui.internal.TrimContribution">
</control>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
</extension>

And my contribution is showing up just fine. I would like to find it later
with something like findView(String id).

There is no API to find the contributions later. The pattern that is
most prevalent in eclipse is that the control contribution (our status
contribution, for example) gets its data from a manager. ex:

protected Control createControl(Composite parent) {
final ImageHyperlink hyperlink = new ImageHyperlink(parent, SWT.NONE);
IStatusManager m = Activator.getDefault().getStatusManager();
hyperlink.setText(m.getLinkText());
m.addStatusListener(this);
return hyperlink;
}
