| Running an infocenter as a pure OSGi bundle [message #473902] |

I need to provide some online help for a Web application that is running in
the Equinox OSGi container. I'd really like to use the Eclipse help format,
as from a doc writer's point of view, it's easy to use and I can use Eclipse
as an authoring and testing tool.
Since Eclipse plugins are really just OSGi bundles and since Eclipse is
based on Equinox, it seems that it wouldn't be too big a jump to be able to
deploy the infocenter as a bundle or series of bundles into the OSGi
container.
Just wondering whether anyone has tried or even thought about this.
Thanks

What you are looking to do sounds like something that would be feasible
but I don't know of anyone who has done it yet. I can't immediately
think of any reason why if it would not work if you had all of the right
plugins installed and the servlets registered, but then again I have not
tried this so I can't really predict what issues you might run into.

Are you using the Jetty based Equinox web server? We already have well
documented instructions on how to add help to an RCP application or to
build a .war file which contains the help system but it seems that your
use case is a little different to either of those. I'm trying to figure
out if what the best starting point would be. Are you looking to have
the help system and your web application run on the same server port?
