[platform-help-dev] Allow environment variables in hrefs in toc files
|
Hi,
I would like to make and submit my first contribution to the Eclipse
project to allow the use of environment variables in toc.xml files,
e.g.
<topic label="
Debugger"
href="">file://$AMZI_DIR/docs/pro/pug_overview.htm#Debugger"
/>
We need this change because our docs are installed separately from the
plug-in and their location is findable by the environment variable
AMZI_DIR (in this example).
I have 3 questions.
1) I believe the best place for this change is in normalizeHref in
HrefUtils.java. Is that correct?
2) What format is best for the environment variable? Some choices seem to
be:
$ENV_VAR or other special characters
env://ENV_VAR/doc...
ENV_VAR and always check
file:// style href's to see if
the first segment of the path is an
environment variable
3) There must be a lib/so in Eclipse that can provide the value of an
environment variable. Would you know where that is?
Thanks much,
Mary Kroening
