Hi,

I am trying to create a documentation plugin from a set of pregenerated HTML files. The following are the steps that i follwed:

1) Created a new plugin project docs.sdk.myexample without the Java src. As this can be done in case of documentation plugins.

2) Created a TOC using New > Other > User Assistance > Help Table of Contents.

3) Copied the folder which has all the HTML into a folder named html into the docs.sdk.myexample project folder.

4) Set the dependencies as follows
org.eclipse.help.ui;bundle-version="3.4.1",
org.eclipse.help.ui.source;bundle-version="3.4.1",
org.eclipse.help.webapp;bundle-version="3.4.1",
org.eclipse.help.webapp.source;bundle-version="3.4.1"

5) Set the extensions "org.eclipse.help.toc"

6) Created the toc.xml and set the primary as true.

7) Set the build properties as follows:
bin.includes = META-INF/,\
plugin.xml,\
OSGI-INF/l10n/bundle.properties,\
testToc.xml,\
html/,\
build.properties,\
toc.xml
src.includes = .project,\
META-INF/,\
OSGI-INF/,\
build.properties,\
html/,\
plugin.xml,\
testToc.xml,\
toc.xml

The Help provided with eclipse says to copy the entire project folder docs.sdk.myexample into the plugins directory and restart the IDE and click Help > Help Contents to view teh new help.

I am unable to see the help in the Help window. Please let me know if i am doing anythign wrong. The help available in eclipse IDE does not give any instructions.

Regards,
Satish
