Displaying graphics in other plugin, in help [message #26312]

I'm creating a documentation plugin in which the HTML references graphic
files stored in another plugin. I find that the graphics do not display
properly in my help, and I suspect that this is because the plugin in
which the graphic files are stored does not itself contain any
documentation. My guess is that the Eclipse help system does not recognize
the plugin because it contains no doc.zip or toc.xml. Is this the case?

This is the rough scenario:

pluginA
doc.zip //contains HTML with ref to graphic B.gif in ..\pluginB\icons
toc.xml
plugin.xml
plugin.properties
pluginB
plugin.xml
plugin.properties
B.jar
icons
B.gif

Use pluginId, not directory name, and forward slashes. ../pluginB/icons
