It would be better if JDT could find a way to share contribution items between editors in the outline view. This would help eliminate flashing. Please see Bug 90757 for more information.
Billy, is this (see bug 90757) a major issue for you? If so, JDT Text can investigate the needed effort for shared contribution items.
Personally, I find the flashing annoying, but I would not consider this a major issue.
There would have to be a story/mechanism from Platform UI that handles the life-cycle, similar to IEditorActionBarContributor. Inventing this just for the Java outline page isn't the right approach. Moving to Platform UI for comments.
doug?

perhaps this can be addressed in 3.4 by placing the JDT actions as JDT-outline commands in the view toolbar ... each outline page can activate its specific actions using ActionHandler as a bridge or by turning them into Handlers (either should work). PW
