Description Jingwen 'Owen' Ou CLA 2008-07-29 13:22:42 EDT 
A use case for this is to contribute a global context (IInteractionContext) to Mylyn's life cycle, synchronizing all the events captured by Mylyn.

But contributing one (InteractionContextManager.addGlobalContext(..)) is impossible right now. We should expose the global context API to IInteractionContextManager. 

Besides, related changes should be made to make the API usable, e.g. in AbstractUserInteractionMonitor.selectionChanged(..), it should contribute to the global context even if no task is activated, and leave this to the contributed global context to decide; The globalContext.getContentLimitedTo() in InteractionContextManager.processInteractionEvent(..) should be removed and also leave it to the contributed global context.
