Re: [e4-dev] How should clients be expected to dispose of IEclipseContex

[Axel Rauschmayer <axel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Commenting out of complete ignorance regarding the actual problem,  
but: I've never liked this kind of pattern, because it is hard to  
discover and easy to forget.

Is there a better way of handling life cycle stages? I would expect  
this kind of method to be always there, possibly with empty  
implementations.

Greetings,

Axel
