Why is HelpSystem not available? Is there some reason that your RCP app
can't include the org.eclipse.help plugin?
I use a helper method (no pun intended) like this:
public static String resolveHelpHref(String contextID) {
String result = null;
IContext context = HelpSystem.getContext(contextID);
if (context != null) {
IHelpResource[] topics = context.getRelatedTopics();
if (topics.length > 0) {
result = topics[0].getHref();
}
}
return result;
}
Also, you might get more response to questions like this on the
eclipse.platform.ua newsgroup instead - I've added it to this thread.
Hope this helps,
Eric
