Hello Christophe,

Running help in Infocenter-Mode basically means running your help as a 
standalone rcp-application on a server. Your RCP clients can then merge 
this remote help into their local help.

Info on how to run the helpsystem in Infocenter-Mode can be found under 
the following links

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipsehelp/

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_setup_infocenter.htm

Once the Infocenter is running you can tell your application to use remote 
help by adding those lines

org.eclipse.help.base/remoteHelpOn=true
org.eclipse.help.base/remoteHelpHost=<help-server>
org.eclipse.help.base/remoteHelpPath=/help

to your plugin_customization.ini file.

The problem with that is that it seems to be impossible to reference 
remote help pages from the contexts.xml
