All Implemented Interfaces:

Context

public class Context
extends Object
implements Context

The Izou context is a means for all addOns to get general information they might need. Every addOn its own context and can use it to reach certain Izou components. It controls what an addOn has access to and what it does not have access to.
For instance, the addOn should have access to a logger (created in Izou for the addOn), but it should not have access to classes like the AddOnManager, which loads all addOns at the start. Hence the logger is included in the context, but the addOn manager is not. Anything that is not included in the context, and addOn does not have access to. So in short, the context exists to give addOns access to higher Izou components while still denying access to other components.
