E4/EAS/Status Reporting
When operations are initiated, whether by the system or by the end user, it is helpful to be able to provide the user with updates about the status of these operations. This ties in with the progress service in that status reporting is concerned with a customizable way of rendering status information to the user whereas the progress service is concerned with how the work is scheduled and whether status information should be rendered at all or not.
Eclipse 3.x API
The StatusLineManager and the 'Progress' view allows progress reporting to be done on it with some limited customization capabilities.
