Problem with Keyword Index (since 3.7) [message #692871]

Hi,

I provide a keyword index (using the extension point
"org.eclipse.help.index") in my RCP application.

Since I migrated my application (from Eclipse 3.4.1) to Eclipse 3.7
there are problems how links in parent nodes of the keyword tree are
displayed. There is now inserted after each parent node that links a
help page a blank line that also links the defined help page.

For example, a keyword index defined as follows in the index.html:

<index>
<entry keyword="topic_1">
<topic href="doc/topic1.html"/>
<entry keyword="topic_1_1">
<topic href="doc/topic_1_1.html"/>
</entry>
<entry keyword="topic_1_2">
<topic href="doc/topic_1_2.html"/>
</entry>
</entry>
<entry keyword="topic_2">
<entry keyword="topic_2_1">
<topic href="doc/topic_2_1.html"/>
</entry>
</entry>
</index>

... will be shown in the Help View this way:

topic_1 (links to "doc/topic1.html")
<blank line> (links to "doc/topic1.html" as well)
topic_1_1 (links to "doc/topic1_1.html")
topic_1_2 (links to "doc/topic1_1.html")
topic_2 (mouse click opens/closes underlying tree structure)
topic_2_1 (links to "doc/topic2_1.html")

Might this be a bug or has anything changed in recent versions of
Eclipse regarding this extension point?

I've tested this behaviour under Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.6) and it
occurs on both systems.

Best Regards,
Andreas

The blank line sounds like a bug, I have not noticed that during testing, probably there is something different between your index and the one which I am using to test with. Can you file a bug report?
