Subject: [platform-help-dev] Packaging NL plugins
Reply-To: platform-help-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx
Is it necessary to duplicate non-translatable images in NL subdirectories
within a plugin, or will the image of the same filename display if it is
available in the doc.zip file in the root of the plugin?

This forum is meant for discussions regarding design and development of
the Eclipse help system, not for implementation questions.
Please use the Eclipse newsgroup eclipse.platform for questions like
these.

Howdy,
Eclipse has this notion of "extension point" that the documentation fea=
ture
takes advantage of so that documentation may be added to an Eclipse
Installation by merely adding a documentation plugin to the \plugins
directory of the Eclipse Installation.
Eclipse also has the notion of an "extension" (or "product extension")
whereby plugins are placed in an Eclipse extension directory. This Ecl=
ipse
extension directory does not contain a JRE, the Eclipse engine or the
fundamental plugins necessary to run the Eclipse platform. Instead, th=
is
directory contains additional plugins that may be linked to 1 or more
Eclipse installations. This linking permits an Eclipse Installation to=
register (and use) the plugins located in the Eclipse extension directo=
ry.
Typically linking is done by creating a file in the eclipse\links
directory of a given Eclipse Installation. This file contains a proper=
ty
"file" (i.e. a Java property) which sites the specific directory within=
the
Eclipse extension directory where the desired plugin resides.
I am curious how these two notions function together in regard to
documentation plugins: is it possible for documentation plugins to be
listed in an Eclipse extension directory and linked to a given Eclipse
installation? Will the documentation for these plugins, listed in this=
Eclipse extension directory, be available via the Help System or IC? I=
f
appropriate, will these items be listed in the TOC?
I'm a newbie to Eclipse and the Eclipse mailing-lists, so please forgiv=
e me
if this topic is mis-directed. Please also forgive the length of this
message (I wanted to be clear- if only to myself- what is meant by
"extension point" and "product extension").
Thanks!

Help uses services provided by Eclipse platform to obtain documentation
contributions. The actual location of documentation plugins is completely
transparent to the help system. Help is not even aware of existence of
"plugins" directory under eclipse.
In the future, post questions not related to development of Eclipse on user
news groups, "eclipse.platform" group - in the case of question on help.
