Description Valentina Popescu CLA 2007-08-10 12:54:13 EDT 
Go to the Profiling and Logging / Application Context preference page and press F1 to open the online help.
Read the documentation. I expected to see a short description of what the Application Context is and why I should care about it. There is nothing to describe the scenario we are trying to address here and how we are doing that. If this is described in another page, than this should be linked at the top of this documentation page.

What I expect to see here is :
What is the scenario we are trying to address ( The tool has extensions which allows you to profile application written in any particular language, such as Java, C/C++, WebServices). The data collected from such applications is displayed by the profiling views. The issue is that the views have labels and icons that refer to the java language ( as an example Heap Statistics table has a Package name column which in C should be called DLL ). 
The notion of the Application Context allows the user to extend the tool and provide custom labels/icons for the existing profiling view )
And so on..

Proposed Patch 

I've added some details regarding implementing different context, and added some more description for what Application context is. 
It is still in general terms but it should be more helpful than the previous help file. Also added information on creating a sample for user to review.
