Re: [cdt-debug-dev] querying the "active" CDI thread

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

In Eclipse 3.1 you can get the current context by calling the static 
"getDebugContext" method of DebugUITools which returns IAdaptable. You can 
get an IThread object if the current context is IStackFrame or IThread. So 
it comes back to the question: can we access the underlying CDI thread 
object from an instance of IThread? There is no direct access to it right 
now, but I'll try to figure out if it is posible or not.
