Hi all,

I have an RCP application with the help system configured and everithing
works ok but if I select the index view, it says that "There are no entries
in the index". How can I configure the help system to show content on that
view?

Thanks in advance

Do you have an index.xml file in your help doc plug-in and contribute to
the org.eclipse.help.index extension point?

Reference:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_he lp_index.html

If you include such a file and contribute to that extension point, then
the Index view will be populated in the same way the ToC view is populate.

Hope this helps,
Lee Anne
