Details/examples of PDF search implementation? [message #1065467]

Hi,

I've seen posts about how to add indexing/searching of PDFs to an infocenter.

It seems that I need to use <extension point="org.eclipse.help.base.searchParticipant"> to identify a parser that uses a utility such as PDFBox.

Are detailed instructions about how to do that available anywhere?

Would my extension point look something like the following snippet?

<extension point="org.eclipse.help.base.SearchParticipant">
<searchParticipant id="org.eclipse.myPDFParticipant"
extensions="pdf"
participant="org.eclipse.myPlugin.myPackage.MyPDFParticipant"/>
</extension>

Is a parser plugin available somewhere that I can just download and add to my Eclipse 3.71 installation?

Thanks!
Scott

Thanks a lot in advance.Eagerly waiting for your reply.
