You can schedule your plug-in to be activated on startup (see early startup
extension point). Note that this should not be done lightly - Eclipse
plug-ins/bundles should be as lazy as possible. However, it will give you
what you want.

I still haven't found a good solution to my question, or I'm just inept and
implementing it :)
I'm having issues in having my bundle activator getting called in my
content plugin (I guess this makes sense, because what accesses a class in
infocenter mode?). What is the guaranteed way to
hook into the infocenter so I can do something on infocenter mode startup?
I don't think there's a way I can force my plugin to load.
Thanks for the help guys :)
Cheers,

Question regarding
Infocenter mode
You can do dynamic toc's by taking advantage of the osgi runtime system or
via the update manager: have the toc's contributed by a number of plugins
which you will then install/uninstall using the osgi API's or, by providing
associated features which you will enable/disable using the update manager
api's. Dejan has successfully done this with the samples in the past, so
the support is there.
Obviously, having the help system provide api's for dynamic toc's is the
best solution.

For the content, I would start by looking at the contentProducer extension
point in org.eclipse.help. This should get you the content, but not the
toc. For the toc, we are aiming to have dynamic content for 3.2. By dynamic
content I mean filtering by os, arch, system property, activity, etc,
includes, and anchors. I'm not sure if this will be enough for you though,
as it sounds like your toc needs to be generated entirely on the fly.
Dorian or Dejan, is there currently a way to do this kind of thing?

The goal is to add to the existing help system implementation. We plan to
add a SCORM eLearning system ontop of the existing help system where users
can add SCORM to their existing content.
Another issue we are looking to tackle is that we have to generate the TOC
for these content plugins. The TOC can be dynamic (as defined in SCORM), so
entries can be "hidden" or remove at will. I was going to take a look at
the DynamicContentProducer along with some recent additions to see what can
be done.
Is that enough information to go on?

Question regarding
Infocenter mode
Hi Chris,
I was wondering if you could clarify the requirement for me - are you
looking to simply contribute content to the infocenter, or replace/add to
the existing help system implementation? If the latter, could I know your
end goal so that we can find the best solution to get to it? Currently the
WebAppManager is not API and as such shouldn't be used directly.
Thanks,

"Eclipse Platform User Assistance [platform-ua-dev] Question

Hello Ya'll
I have a question regarding a best practice with infocenter mode. I have to
install a webapp via WebAppManager once the infocenter is started (only
once). This happened before in a plugin's earlyStartup() method but doesn't
apply to infocenter mode. Is there a best practice regarding this?
Cheers,
