How to simplify status line

The status line has a bunch of stuff that causes the things I most want 
to see to scroll off the visible portion.  For instance, I really want 
to see the line number where the cursor is but it is pushed out to the 
right off the visible section.

My status line looks like this...

------XEmacs: filename.java   (JDE /S/n/ARP/plugin/jdb PenDel Font 
Abbrev)--L20--8%--[C:classname]----

The thing that bugs me is that I don't see the "L20" line number part.  
Okay I know I can widen the window, but I'd like to keep it at the 
current width and still see the line number (L20).  The (JDE...) section 
between the parens is fixed so I don't need to see it as much as the 
line number part that depends on where the cursor is.

Is there a way?

TIA
