Contributing to the Status Bar/Trim in Eclipse RCP

Question

I have a requirement to show a status indicator in the status bar of an Eclipse application. I can't contribute through the ApplicationWindowAdviser (another team owns the core product), but I feel sure that I should be able to contribute through an extension point. Despite much googling, I can't find anything describing how to do this.

Answer 1

A possible solution to check:
You should be able to define a fragment in order to be able to add to the core product functionality. (see here for another example).

The idea is to add functionality to the core plugin. May be your contribution can then merged to that main product that way.
