Re: [platform-dev] Accessing a help TOC on remote server via http

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can register remote help infocenters in the Preferences:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/help_preferences_content.htm

It might be possible to equip a product with plugin_customization.ini to have some remote help servers
pre-registered (but I didn't test that).

Thanks,
Martin

Hi,

so i will have to write a plugin which downloads the stuff? Is there some alternative? Maybe a different extension point?

Regards
Sten
