How to hide toolbar in Eclipse 4.2?

The toolbar is of no use for me, it occupies space, I use shortcuts to achieve all functions the toolbar provide. In Eclipse 3.7 we can right click the toolbar and hit "hide toolbar", but how to do that in Eclipse 4?

Menu was gone but the command seems to be available still now.
Preferences > General > Keys
Type "toggle t" in filter text, then "Toggle Toolbar Visibility" will appear. It seems to work when some key is assigned.

> Window > Hide Toolbar

(I'm running 4.2.1.)

You can do it programatically like this:

@Override
public void postWindowOpen() {
    hideCoolbar();
    super.postWindowOpen();
}

private void hideCoolbar() {
    try {
        IHandlerService service = (IHandlerService) PlatformUI
                .getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()
                .getService(IHandlerService.class);
        if (service != null)
            service.executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.ToggleCoolbarAction",
                    null);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //handle error
    }
}

In 4.7.2 you can use the menu items: Window -> Appearance -> Hide Toolbar & Window -> Appearance -> Show Toolbar to toggle toolbar visibility.
