I'm trying to invoke Eclipse Help system from my standalone SWT application
based on Eclipse 2.1. I'm using following code:
import org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help;
public class MyHelpClass {
Help helpSystem;
public void displayHelp(String object) {
if (helpSystem == null) {
String[] options =
new String[] { "-eclipsehome", myEclipseHomeDirectory };
helpSystem = new Help(options);
try {
helpSystem.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
try {
helpSystem.displayHelp(object);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
Everytime when I call to displayHelp(href) to display a topic, it starts a
help window. How can I reuse one help window?

Thank you Konrad, the help system works fine now.
But I have one more question: I didn't see any difference by defining
system_browser in plugin_customization.ini. I put this ini file under
org.eclipse.help_2.1.0. Is this right?
Thanks,

No, default plug-in preferences are specified in preferences.ini file in
plug-in installation directory. A product built without modifiying plug-in
files can override preferences using plugin_customization.ini placed in its
primary feature plug-in. See:
http://help.eclipse.org/help21/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/guide/product_config.htm
