Research direction

Start with the Liberty Tools Dashboard view and the Eclipse active-editor context for a project containing server.xml. Determine how the dashboard identifies projects and how the active editor exposes its project. Done means the corresponding dashboard project is visibly selected or otherwise distinguished when its file is open.
