Re: [e4-dev] Terminology Question for key/value pairs in the Context

[Eric Moffatt <emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How about 'element', this more closely
matches the terminology for java collections...

Hi,

do we have already a name for key/value pairs in
the Context? AFAIK once we make them modifiable, we call them "Context
Variables" but what about a common term for the other elements?

For my my Eclipse 4 book it would be handy to have
a term for the things in the context, e.g. OSGi services, Java objects,
Preferences. 

I personally think "Context object" or sounds
good. Any other suggestions or any objections against that term?

Best regards, Lars
