Convert Eclipse RCP Help Project to Standalone Help System (WebHelp) [message #1744975]

I've created a rather robust Help system for an Eclipse developed RCP. The Help system works very well in Eclipse when I run configuration and it works excellently in the RCP application, using toc.xml, context, xml, and index.xml. Management decided that we should also post the Help system as a standalone Help (webhelp) for easy access without having to log on to the application. Currently, that means I have to recreate the Help system using RoboHelp (which is an awful process - my html files double in size).

I read the Eclipse Help manual on creating standalone Help, but was rather confused about the actual process. I tried it a couple of ways, but have had no success. This Help Creator (me) could use a little help on the easiest/best way to create webhelp (or any standalone Help package) from my RCP Help files.

Thanks,
