[platform-help-dev] activities/capabilities to filter TOCs from the bookshelf

In Konrad Kolosowski reply to “Effects of  activities on help in M8”, regarding the use of activities/capabilities to filter TOCs from the bookshelf, he says: “A plugin, but typically main product plugin defines Eclipse activities as in http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-ui-home/activities/activities.html
where in _expression_
identifier := plugin-identifier + "/" + local-identifier
local-identifier in help context is a name of the TOC file.  For example pattern="org\.eclipse\.platform\.doc\.isv/topics_Samples\.xml"> corresponds to examples subtree in Platform Developers Guide book.  If the activity for which this pattern is defined in product plugin.xml is disabled, the topics from topic_Samples.xml are missing from the tree.
Identifiers for activity mapping are regular expressions so another example  pattern="org\.eclipse\.platform\.doc\.isv.*" will match anything in this plug-in effectively filtering all TOCs from this plug-in.  More elaborate expressions can be created.”

 

I would like to use capabilities to suppress all IBM guides. Using Konrad’s pattern example, I was able to filter all but 3 guides: JDT Plug-in Developer Guide, Java Development User Guide, and PDE Guide.

 

I’ve tried to use a simple pattern in the <activityPatternBinding/> tags but these do not work:

 

pattern="org\.eclipse\.jdt\.doc\.isv/toc\.xml"

pattern="org\.eclipse\.jdt\.doc\.user/toc\.xml"

pattern="org\.eclipse\.pde\.doc\.user/toc\.xml"

 

And more advanced patterns don’t work either. Does anyone know why these 3 guides seem to operate differently than the others? (I believe my syntax is correct.)

Thanks in advance,

shealy
