[news.eclipse.platform] Re: SelectionProvider is not set in the WindowSe

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

"selection" is the global eclipse selection, usually based on the active 
part.

activeMenuSelection is the selection that is available during a context 
(popup) menu.  It is not necessarily the same as the "selection" 
variable, since it comes from the selection provider set in 
getSite().registerContextMenu(*)
