/**
 * This content provider is required in order to have selection maintained properly
 * when swtiching between session.  The problem is, when swtich debug session, the memory view reset the input
 * to the viewer.
 *
 * After the input is set, viewer's doInitialRestore is called.  At this time, the elemtns
 * are not mapped in the viewer yet, as a result, the selection cannot be maintained.
 *
 * The viewer tries to restore selection again after elements are added to the view.  This is done
 * in the HasChildrenJob.  However, this job will not get scheduled unless the element provides a content
 * provider adapter.  As a result, the job is never scheduled and the selection cannot be maintained.
