Let's then create a cvs module called OptionalTools and migrate code to 
this module that is not required by WebMacro. A lot of code will end up 
there and it could make using WebMacro unfriendly: I have to include two 
jars and search two doc bases...

Regarding context tools. How does this sound:

First, a context tool goes away in release 2. It is just a context 
object like any other.

Second, the only way to automatically get an object in the context is to 
make a declaration in WebMacro.properties not WebMacro.defaults:

ContextHelper.NameFoo=ClassFoo
ContextHelper.NameBar=ClassBar

WebMacro.getContext(), as a convenience, places these objects in the 
context under the name declared.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the context to manage any 
clean-up on these classes when the context is no longer needed. And, 
this is not the responsibility of WM to know this point in time.
