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

[Chris Goldthorpe <cgold@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
