Description Rich Watts CLA 2007-10-26 16:01:02 EDT 
To use remote help, we really need to be able to point to multiple infocenters. Many products are too big to all live in a single infocenter. I understand that more infocenters maybe slower, but it would also help us compartmentalize our content and make our maintenance. 

For Example, A user installs Product A, with a remote infocenter, and product B from another company with a remote infocenter. I can only have 1 remote IC at a time.

Very important to make this feature very powerful and useful. This change would make Web delivery for complex products and co-installs a real possibility.

Would still like to get this into Eclipse 3.4. It looks as though Rich's team may be able to contribute this for M6. Rich, if you can confirm this I'll add the target milestone.
