[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Re: Why do Cheatsheets depend on the help system?

The dependency is there because cheat sheets can open help topics or context help. For example if you open the cheat sheet "Open a Hello World Application" in the "Java Development" category you will see a (?) at the right of each item which if clicked will open the help system. The second reason is to allow cheat sheets to participate in search. It would be possible I suppose to make the dependencies optional and add code to disable creation of the (?) if the dependency has not been satisfied. As far as I know you are the first person to request this.

Hello,

I wanted to include some cheatsheets with my RCP application but *not* want to include the help system as it drags in webservers, ant, lucene and what else. Is there a reason why cheatsheets must be searchable with lucene and why they depend on help.base?

It would be nice if we could just integrate the sheets (they are form based, nothing like the html help system). The lucene searchable code should be in an extender bundle.

Any thoughts?
