[news.eclipse.platform.swt] monitoring "help browser"?

Hi guys,

I posted this question in eclipse.platform group, but got no answer. Maybe someone here can help me:

* I want to monitor the usage of help browser, such as 1) what keywords the user has typed to search for 2) what help topic he just clicked.

The problem is I can't find the corresponding listener.

Nor do I understand the browser mechanism in Eclipse: on my windows machine, the help browser seems to based on IE (i.e. it wraps the IE browser), while on MAC the help contents are displayed in an external firefox browser.

As far as I know, there're three places where the term "Browser" exist:
1) org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser (sounds good due to the LocationListener)
2) org.eclipse.ui.browser.IWebBrowser (can find a listener for this?)
3) org.eclipse.help.browser.IBrowser (no listener for this?)
But I didn't see any relationship between them.


my question: 1) how can I get the default browser for "Help->Help Contents"?
2) is there a listener for observing it (e.g. search key words, clicked URLs, etc)?



thanks very much in advance! Jinhui
