Hi Todd,
You will need to connect to the eclipse CVS server and download the help
code. Once you make the required changes, you can export your modified
plug-in and drop it into your plugins folder (make sure to remove the old
one too).
You can connect to the CVS server with the following information:
Host: dev.eclipse.org
Repository Path: /cvsroot/eclipse
User: anonymous
(no password)
Connection Type: pserver
(use the default port)
The EmbeddedBrowser code that the bug suggests hacking is in the
org.eclipse.help.ui plug-in.
For more information on using eclipse CVS, see the following link:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_Howto
If you want to make a patch for us to take a look at you can right click
the plug-in you changed in your workbench and select Team -> Create patch.
This will make a file that lists the differences between your code and the
code on CVS. Then upload the .txt file to the bug.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response Chris,
Yeah, I've put some comments on that bug myself. Regarding Konrad's
suggestion, I was hoping to avoid messing with internals etc.
However, if as you say, there really isn't any way to do it through a
public api then maybe I'll have to take a look at this alternative.
Now, for my total newbie question - apologies in advance... but being
relatively new to the eclipse community, can you tell me how I'd
go about making the changes to internal api's as you're suggesting? Is
there documentation somewhere for this?
Any pointers on "hacking eclipse internal api's for dummies" is greatly
appreciated ;)
Cheers
Todd

Hi Todd,
I noticed some comments in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=57331, comments 3 and 12
suggesting a way to close the help system. I experimented with this a
little and it appears that it would work as long as the application then
exits after the browser is closed. We don't have any public API for
shutting down the help system or listening to events from the help browser
so to achieve what you want using Eclipse 3.3 you would need to hack the
source code a little and use internal APIs. If you come up with something
that works for you I'd be interested to see a patch of your changes (you
could attach them to the bug). If enough people request a particular
extension to the API we can add it in a future release.

Please respond to [platform-ua-dev]
"Eclipse Platform User Assistance accessing embedded
component developers list." browser in an RCP help
<platform-ua-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx> app
Hi there,
Wondering if someone here has run into the problem that I'm facing...
We've got an RCP app whose sole purpose is delivery of 'Online Help' via a
CDROM. The entire app is composed of a single plugin (the RCP app) which
depends on all of our existing user.doc plugins.
The RCP app starts up with essentially an empty workbench (we hide the
window, so it appears headless) and simply opens the system help which in
turn loads our doc plugins. ie -
//start up the help system to display the help content
IWorkbenchHelpSystem helpSystem;
helpSystem = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem();
helpSystem.displayHelp();
The problem is that, once the help window is opened, and the user
subsequently closes it, the workbench (javaw) process is of course left
running.
Since this is product is delivered pretty much exclusively to windows
users, thus we can be relatively certain that it's going to use the
embedded swt browser, I'm wondering if there's a way to access the embedded
swt browser programmatically to add a window close listener which will
close the workbench as well? The desired result is that I want the action
of closing the help browser window to make the help system exit cleanly.
Anybody got any suggestions? If there's a better way to accomplish what I'm
talking about, feel free to recommend an alternate method - I'm still
getting the feel for eclipse, so I'm sure there's LOTS of places where I've
yet to scratch the surface ;)
Thanks,
Todd
