Best way to listen to context activation/deactivation [message #337069]

Hello! I have defined a number of 'org.eclipse.ui.contexts' and wish to
have parts of my application respond to when these contexts change from
active and inactive states.

The best I can come up with so far is adding an IContextManagerListener to
IContextService via addContextManagerListener, and then deducing which
context have changed through the ContextManagerEvent (specifically
ContextManagerEvent .getContextManager.getActiveContextIds() and
ContextManagerEvent.getPreviouslyActiveContextIds()).

Is this the best way to do this? Seems like things could get a little
inefficient especially when trying to deduce which context has been
deactivated.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
