Looks great...but isn't this more a "background job has completed" kind of notification ? Shouldn't that be in the job progress view then ?

..and yeah - status bar writes seems a really bad place to put these.

I was not particularly happy with the status bar notifications that now are used in Forge2 for several reasons but mainly because of the fact that they write to the status bar that belongs to the Project Explorer view which is not necessarily visible but also because the status bar is fairly limited. So I decided to experiment a bit with popup notifications that fade in and fade out in the corner of the window. I got this to work just in time for my demo and everybody seemed quite impressed...

It also seems to address https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-771. Let me know what you think about it and if I should continue in that direction.
