Description Andre Ribeiro CLA 2009-05-08 04:58:51 EDT 
Build ID: M20090211-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Press F1 in the "Open Type" dialog with a type (class) selected on the list
2. The help pane opens at right (in the dialog)
3. However no contextual help (e.g. JavaDoc API link) is suggested like it would in the normal IDE


This would be a very helpful feature to access API docs in a very agile way.

Will for for 3.5 if our standard JavaUIHelp class can be used in this scenario.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2009-05-12 09:25:20 EDT 
This is not easy to do because the context help is fitted for parts and not dialogs. In addition, the tray help only accepts one help topic/item and if there are more (e.g. I add Javadoc) then it simply shows the help for the context ID.
