Re: [wtp-dev] SDK Documentation

Hi David, 

Good job! Thanks for working on this.

One question does this strictly apply
to the java source? or are we talking also about the extension point documentation
for the plugins?

Best Regards,

Subject	[wtp-dev] SDK Documentation

I've managed to automate the generation of the SDK
documentation 
(JavaDoc) for the Eclipse Help plugins.   See bug 232547 for more
information.   It generates all the HTML files for the class files.
  It 
currently uses a doclet called JELDoclet to produce a xml file of the 
java doc, and then creates the rest of the files from there.    There
is 
an ANT build script that does all the hard work, along with two 
xslts.    Technically, this could also be done if somebody were
to write 
a custom Eclipse Doclet that produced the necessary files.

Anyways, this isn't limited to just XSL Tools, the same process could be
used across WTP or eclipse projects to generate the appropriate Toc.xml
and corresponding Html files for the help system.

Dave
