JavaScript Context

A JavaScript context is created for an add-on to isolate the JavaScript environment from other add-ons.

This context is not persisted across sessions or clients. It is destroyed when the add-on is removed and recreated when the add-on is updated. The onInit event for the add-on should be used to create any JavaScript objects that need to be created on startup of the add-on.

It is believed that the JavaScript context created uses the namespace string of the add-on library, but this is not documented (currently).
