Bummer.

It might have a status bar, but it looks as though something might 
screwed up enough in the hierarchy so as to prevent Orca from getting to 
it.  I don't have eclipse handy, so I can't debug this. :-(

You *might* try pressing Insert+Ctrl+Alt+PageDown to invoke the Orca 
debug command that dumps the hierarchy of the application to the console 
where Orca is started.  You could search that for any sign of a status 
bar.  This attempts to dump the complete hierarchy, so it can be very 
verbose, though.  In addition, since we might be dealing with a broken 
hierarchy in ecplise, the debug code might end up running into that to.
