Description Konrad Kolosowski

helpwebapp assumes it is deployed under pluigins directory.  In Websphere, web 
application is copied to another loocation causing infocenter not to work, 
because it cannot find boot loader.

I have released the code in head, that will use ECLIPSE_HOME context parameter 
instead of assuming install location if it parameter value is provided.  The 
parameter can be provided web.xml, for anybody editing file by hand, here is an 
example.
	<context-param>
		<param-name>ECLIPSE_HOME</param-name>
		<param-value>/my/eclipse/install</param-value>
	</context-param>

If paramter is not present or value is empty string, old algorithm for finding 
boot loader will execute.

Fixed.  The web.xml for infocenter contains parameter definition that may be 
edited if needed:
	<context-param>
		<param-name>ECLIPSE_HOME</param-name>
		<param-value></param-value>
		<description>The directory where eclipse is installed.  For 
example, "d:/eclipse".  THe parameter is required only when deployed help web 
application is not installed inside of Eclipse plugins directory.</description>
	</context-param>
