[Pydev-code] Writing to the Eclipse status area from a Jython Pydev extension

[Don T. <nos...@gm...>]

Fabio:

I am trying to write a message to the status area on the bottom of the 
Eclipse screen, but I can't get it working.

This is what I have so far:

if cmd == 'onCreateActions':
     ...
     from org.eclipse.jface.action import StatusLineManager

...

             self.statusLine = StatusLineManager()
             self.statusLine.setMessage("hello")
             self.statusLine.update(True)

Maybe I need to call createControl() but I don't know what to supply as 
the 'parent' parameter.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Don.
