Hi All!

I'm trying to add a help system to my RCP application (coded with Juno) but with no success so far.

Using the new plug-in wizard I have created a plugin using the template "Plug-in with sample help content".
Then I have added to my product file the newly created plugin, org.eclipse.ui.help.* and all the optional dependencies by using the "Add Required Plug-ins" button in the product file editor.

When I launch the RCP application the help menu does not produce any window and the log do not show any error/warning, but if I launch all the plugins as a traditional Eclipse application the help shows up.

What am I missing?

Regards, Daniele

Hi,

I am also facing the same kind of problem in Juno. Any pointer to a tutorial, help,blog would be appreciated. There is not a lot of information on how to use the help mechanism in a Juno RCP.

Best regards,

Alain
