Hi, all!

I'm developing an RCP application and want to provide "Help Contents"
for it.

I added Help and Help Contents menus by creating
ActionFactory.HELP_CONTENTS action. (I used code from
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.WorkbenchActionBuilder).

Then I defined Help extension
<extension
point="org.eclipse.help.toc">
<toc
primary="true"
file="helptoc.xml"/>
</extension>

and added org.eclipce.help dependence.

But it didn't work. The application shows Help Contents menu but nothing
happens when I click it.

What extensions do I have to add more, do anybody know?

Thanx,
Ekaterina.

plugin.xml:

<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.help.ui"/>
</requires>

<extension point="org.eclipse.help.toc">
<toc file="book.xml" primary="true"/>
</extension>

In Advisor/ActionBuilder:

//..

fHelpContentsAction = ActionFactory.HELP_CONTENTS.create(fWindow);
actionBarConfigurer.registerGlobalAction(fHelpContentsAction );

//...

IMenuManager menubar = actionBarConfigurer.getMenuManager();
IMenuManager menu = new MenuManager("&Help",
IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_HELP);
menu.add(fHelpContentsAction);
menubar.add(menu);

Don't forget to deploy with plug-ins:

org.eclipse.help.webapp
org.eclipse.tomcat

and their prerequisites.
