[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] dynamic help - requirements

hi,

what are the requirements for a dynamic help implementation on the
richclient applications?

I have the following dependencies:
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.help.ui
org.eclipse.appserver
org.eclipse.help.base
org.eclipse.help.webapp
org.eclipse.help.ui

The static help is ok, but the dynamic and active help makes some problems.
I have implemented a contexts.xml file and have registered it in the
plugin.xml with the org.eclipse.help.contexts extension and the contexts.xml
file.

In my class which extends from ActionBarAdivsor I have registered the
helpcontents action via:

  helpAction = ActionFactory.HELP_CONTENTS.create(window);
  register(helpAction);

I can open the Help View manually but it should be opened on pressing the F1
key, isn't it?
Could this problem be the reason, that no context entry is found in my
registry? In the Help View when I click on a view, there only appears a
headline with "About ...." and an empty screen.

It would be great if somebody can give some support.
