title: Hide status bar or progress bar in Eclipse
body: <p>How can I hide the status bar in Eclipse? I mean the one at the bottom, where also the "Progress" status is shown. It is very distracting because it is doing something all the time.</p>
  
  <p>I took a look at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5645495/how-to-hide-the-status-bar-in-eclipse">this question</a>, but the answer given there and on Superuser does not show how to hide it. I also did not find anything in the preferences. I am using Eclipse 3.7.2.</p>
  
  <p>How can I hide the status bar, or at least, get rid of the "Progress" bar at the bottom?</p>
