<td>You can enable users to access the help system over
the Internet or an intranet, by installing the help system web application
on a web server. Users open a URL in the web browser, which results in
help system displayed. The infocenter help system can be also used for client
applications and for web applications, that wish to have their help accessed
remotely. All features except infopops and active help are supported.<br>
<br>
The instructions provided go over installing and configuring the
infocenter application. Steps are provided for IBM WebSphere
Application Server 4.0.3 Advanced Edition Single Server, and Apache
Tomcat 4.0.4 on Windows. Other servers should be similar.<br>

<p>The infocenter does not require the entire Eclipse Platform package.
It is possible to run the infocenter with the following plugins (located
in the eclipse\plugins directory):<br>
</p>
<p> org.apache.lucene<br>
org.apache.xerces<br>
org.eclipse.core.boot<br>
org.eclipse.core.resources<br>
org.eclipse.core.runtime<br>
org.eclipse.help<br>
org.eclipse.help.webapp<br>
org.eclipse.update.core<br>
</p>
<p>In addition to these plugins, depending on the operating system or machine
architecture, you may need to also need to install the corresponding fragments
for the above plugins (when they exist). For example, on Windows, you need
to add the following fragments (also located in the eclipse\plugins directory):<br>
</p>
<p>org.eclipse.core.resources.win32<br>
org.eclipse.update.core.win32<br>
</p>
