Plugin for Eclipse to create custom buttons in the toolbar

Question

Eclipse

Is there any handy plugin to create simple buttons to launch programs in Eclipse (Aptana Studio 3)?

I found a similar plugin - PathTools - but I don't like two things about it:
1. commands have to be created twice (for directories and for files);
2. I would like the commands to be shown as separate buttons with custom icons, and not called through a submenu.

Has anyone seen this? In Komodo Edit, such a thing was done very well . But I don't even need all the Komodo chips, I just need to open GUI programs.

By the way, here's another question: is it possible to shove individual toolbars down windows, into the status bar?
