Description Lars Vogel CLA 2016-10-13 09:34:51 EDT 
EHelpService is used in platform code, see for example Bug 457434 and a very thin wrapper around WorkbenchHelpSystem.

I suggest to release it as API to be able to use it for the upcoming DI support for 3.X parts. See Bug 500688.

I'm fine with that, but it has to be polished. For example, it should get @noimplement and @noextend tags and better Javadoc on how it should be used.
