[platform-help-dev] Building stand alone help systems.

[Eric Morter <emorter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been asked to find a way to extract the Help system from Eclipse so it can be used on a local workstation (viewed as a SWT window with embedded IE) or installed on a server (viewed through a browser) for viewing documentation.  Thanks to postings on this list and the instructions at http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/help_standalone.html I was able to write an ant build to automate the building of the stand alone help systems.
My question is, will the instructions mentioned above remain valid in the foreseeable future and if not is there a good way to calculate the help system's dependancies on other Eclipse plug-ins?

Thanks
Eric
