Re: [platform-help-dev] Standalone help with only one JVM

[Konrad Kolosowski <konradk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The first JVM is the controller that starts eclipse help system, sends
commands (displayHelp, shutdown) to it through http and ensures that calls
to start/displayHelp/stop are execute synchronously in correct order by
only one instance of standalone help, no matter how many times user clicks
on the same shortcut.
The second VM is the actual help system.

You cannot eliminate the second VM, the first one could be eliminated, but
you would need to ensure that its functionality is otherwise met.  If you
do not need any of this, you can:
1.  call ...standalone.Help -command start -port [some port] -debug to see
what the command to launch the second vm is, use that command to launch
2.  Either open the browser yourself on [some port] or call
...standalone.Help -command displayHelp - it will cause already running
system to display help, and will exit, not launch another VM.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the standalone help to browser my own content.
When using the command given in the Eclipse help to start it:
      java -classpath d:\myApp\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.0
\helpbase.jar org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command displayHelp

I would like to have only one.
The first JVM starts the help system (the 2nd JVM) and then make an HTTP
connection to display the browser.
The java command to start the help system can be seen using the debug
option:
Launch command is:
  C:\Tools\Catalogue\java\bin\java.exe -cp startup.jar
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -nosplash -application
org.eclipse.help.base.helpApplication -debug

I would like to have only one JVM to start the help system and display the
the browser.
Where should I do the chages for that ?

Thanks
Regards,

David
