Hello,
I'm trying to get the Eclipse help system to work in my efxclipse application, but I've a problem to get the dependencies right.
I've already added lot's of them to my target definition file in order to resolve the dependencies of org.eclipse.help and org.eclipse.webapp :
org.eclipse.help, org.eclipse.help.base, org.eclipse.ui, org.eclipse.webapp, org.eclipse.ant.core, org.apache.lucene.core, org.apache.lucene.analysis, org.eclipse.core.net, org.eclipse.core.variables.
However, now Eclipse wants me to add org.eclipse.swt. For swt, org.eclipse.jface. For Jface, org.eclipse.ui.workbench. For workbench, org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.renderers.swt. This sounds like a neverendingstory.
Am I doing something wrong ? Or is the help system not (yet) available in efxclipse ?
Thomas

Hi,
As you already found out not even SWT+e4 apps can today use the
Help-System. I've not yet looked into the basic help system stuff but
I'm not sure it will help us a lot but certainly we could learn from it.
I know there are still many things we need to port and in many cases I
think we probably should not do a 1:1 port and rethink if we can do
things better while learning from the stuff that was done for Eclipse 3.x.
Things on the top of my list are:
* Support for Install/Update using p2
* Help System
* A generic Viewer-Framework similar to Common-Navigator
* Generic Views as known from 3.x
- Console View
- Error Framework
- Status Reporter
- Log Configurator
- Log/Error Viewer
- Properties View
* Wizard-System / Dialog System on top of ControlsFX and or 8u40 Dialogs
At least the first 2 are very important for business applications but
are a lot of work and I'm not sure we have the needed opensource cycles
to make them happen
