Using pre-build indexes with Eclipse Help [message #560339] Mon, 14 May 2007 22:04

We are currently trying to use the DITA open toolkit to create eclipse
help documentation from Java Doc's. So far so good. We can create the
documentation just fine and the eclipse help system recognizes and
displays everything. However, this documentation is shared across
multiple programmers and may change frequently, so we wish to store the
plugin on a share and pre-create indexes. We've managed to build the
indexes( with command line eclipse ), but for some reason eclipse help
doesn't seem to recognize that they exist( we still get "indexing..." ).

We've actually removed all other help files so only our plugin shows up.
Eclipse still tells us that it is Indexing ... we have tried a few things
but to no avail.

Here is the structure of our plugin directory.
com.foo.bar/ doc.zip
index.xml
nl/en/doc_index.zip <--- this is the preIndex.
plugin.xml
foo-java.xml

The plugin.xml is this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<plugin name="Manual" id="map" version="1.0" provider-name="DITA">
<extension point="org.eclipse.help.toc">
<toc file="foo-java.xml" primary="true"/>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.help.index">
<index file="index.xml"/>
</extension>
</plugin>

So the question is... How do I get eclipse to recognize these indexes?

Thanks
