title: How to write message to status line from handler class in Eclipse RCP programming
body: <p>I need to change status line message from a handler class. After reading the RCP tutorial and eclipse FAQ, I finally did something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HandlerUtil.getActiveWorkbenchWindow(event).getActivePage().findView(AView.ID).getViewSite().getActionBars().getStatusLineManager().setMessage( "Ha, I'm finished");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What a long invoking chain!</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing it the right way? Thanks. </p>
