Randy,

is it planned to add a status line to the "GraphicalEditor" that can be
easily accessed via #getStatusLineManager()? If not, which way do you
suggest to add a status line to a GraphicalEditor?

Cu, Gunnar

That's a great idea. In what situations would you like to access the status
line?
The most obvious to me would be from a Tool. Perhaps displaying coordinates
and other data.

There are many cases. The most important for me are:

- display error or other messages (like information about the current
selection)
- display "read only" or "writeable" file information like the JaveEditor
does
- display a progress monitor

You can access the IStatusLineManager by subclassing ActionBarContributor (which
you may already do to add actions to the toolbar) and overriding
contributeToStatusLine(IStatusLineManager). I've never done anything with the
status line, so I'm not sure how it works. Hope this helps.
