I run the infocenters at help.eclipse.org. Actually, I run three: one
for Eclipse 2.1 (help.eclipse.org/help21), one for Eclipse 3.1
(help.eclipse.org/help31) and one for Eclipse 3.2 (help.eclipse.org/help32).
There are also plans to install a fourth infocenter: one for the latest
stable/RC.
The problem is that from a user's perspective, they all look the same,
and when users hit a docs page from a Google search, it's not obvious
what Eclipse version the docs refer to.
I read up on branding on this page [1], but I'm not quite sure where/how
to do it. I'd essentially like to just change the browser window title,
and put up a nice Eclipse-ish purple banner, similar to that on
bugs.eclipse.org, both of which would state the Eclipse version the docs
refer to.
Can anyone help me out?

Setting up a banner is quite easy. You will create a file called
"plugin_customization.ini" that contains the following two lines:
org.eclipse.help.base/banner=<path_to_html_file>
org.eclipse.help.base/banner_height=<pixels>
When you launch the infocenter add the following to the end of the command:
-pluginCustomization <path_to_file>/plugin_customization.ini
Changing the title, however, is significantly more difficult. The title
comes from the name of the product that is being launched. Right now
starting the infocenter launches the "Eclipse SDK" product behind the
scenes. That's why it says "Help - Eclipse SDK" on the titlebar. All we
have direct control over is whether or not to include the "Help - " part
of the title (using
"org.eclipse.help.base/windowTitlePrefix=<true/false>"). To change the
title we would need to setup a new product to be launched that contains
the version of Eclipse in its name.
Perhaps we could add another customization attribute in 3.4 to give full
control over the title that is displayed.

Great, I'll get going on the banner. Do you want me to open a FR for
the title as a customizable attribute?
