Description Julien HENRY CLA 2011-06-23 08:46:43 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110609-2236

When adding a dependency to a Maven project, the dependency is incorrectly added to the latest opened pom in the editor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have 2 Maven projects in my workspace.
2. Open the pom of project A in the editor
3. Right click on project B -> Maven -> Add dependency
4. Search a dependency in the dialog then OK
5. Dependency is added to project A !

the most likely culprit is MavenActionSupport.getPomFileFromPomEditorOrViewSelection()

current selection needs to be processed primarily, the active editor is a relict of time when we had actions in main menu (and back even then it was wrong)
