I think you should reconsider this, if I understood things correctly.
Api.getContext is a method that can be called from any velocity code, and the XWikiContext class should NOT be freely available.
Right. Ok, so what you're saying is that getContext should be protected instead of public?
I thought about this before implementing it but then the Api constructor is public and takes a XWikiContext object. Thus I guess what we are really saying is that either we should use Context instead of XWikiContext and leave everything public or make the constructor and the getContext method protected.
BTW c.x.XWiki and c.x.XWikiContext are already available from velocity/groovy through c.x.api.XWiki.getWiki() and c.x.api.Context.getContext(), but I guess this is not right too and needs to be fixed.
Actually this is something we'll need to discuss too (the impedance mismatch between c.x.api.* and c.x.* classes).

part of the build yet.
Now we need to decide if we want to move the Api.context variable
from protected to private (as it should be to force the usage of the
accessor).
The only issue is that existing plugins will fail to work against the
new version. They'll need to be modified to use getContext().
WDYT?
Note that we cannot put a deprecation on this unfortunately...
Thanks
