Re: [platform-ua-dev] Adding in new tab item to the Eclipse 3.4 Help Sys

There is not an extension point . In
order to make the webapp extensible we would have to make a lot of the
_javascript_ into API which isn't a direction we want to go in at present
because we may decide to revamp the appearance of the webapp which would
have the effect of breaking any extensions.

Hi
 
I've been investigating the possibilty to add a new tab
in the Eclipse (3.4) Help System to contain a glossary. 
Firstly, I should ask if this has this been done already?

 
I've taken the help plugin source and have managed to
add in a new tab easily enough by manipulating the LayoutData class. But
I'd like to know if there is an extension point available to contribute
extra tabs and define their content.
 
It looks like it would be a considerable amount of work
to write this. If this doesn't exist and I can find a good way of doing
this I am happy to contribute the code back.
 
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
 
Thanks 
James
