Re: [mylyn-dev] Context browsing...

Hi Nuno,

You can modify the ContextEditorFormPage to show any loaded context (I
all you need to do is remove some of the isActiveContext checks), but
there are some problems with the actions on the elements that are
shown.  There is an outstanding bug regarding this type of
support(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174658) .  To
make this work correctly, all of the actions that work on a context
(i.e. mark as landmark, remove from context), need to be modified to
not use the active context, but to get the task context based on where
the selection was made.
