That is excellent news. Looking forward to it.
For info, here are bugs tracking the entire issues:
Bug 219040 - [variables][cdi] Variables view should show globals (or should it?)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219040
Bug 323408 - Variables View's "Global variables" context menu and toolbar buttons should be visible only for CDI models
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323408
Bug 343911 - add/remove global actions for variables view should be overridable for non CDI debuggers
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=343911
