Hi All,

I am trying to enable scoping using criteria, but have been unsuccesful so far; Wondering if anybody in this forum has gotten this to work yet? Here's what I've done:

1. Added the extension point to the plugin.xml file for each topic:
<extension point="org.eclipse.help.criteriaDefinition">
<criteriaDefinition file="criteria.xml"/>
</extension>

2. Created a criteria.xml file for every topic that basically looks like this:
<criteriaDefinition>
<criterion id="version" name ="Version">
<criterion-value id="1.0" name ="1.0"/>
<criterion-value id="2.0" name ="2.0"/>
</criterion>
<criterion id="product" name ="Product">
<criterion-value id="DB2" name ="DB2"/>
<criterion-value id="WAS" name ="WAS"/>
</criterion>
</criteriaDefinition>

3. Set the preferences to enable criteria:
org.eclipse.help/enableCriteria = true
org.eclipse.help/supportedCriteria = platform,version


After making these changes, I started eclipse using eclipse -clean, but the scope window shows up only with the topic section and not the criteria section.

What might I be missing?

thanks,
Shalini

It looks like you are doing the right things - did you also add criteria attributes to your table of contents?

Hi,
Also pay attention to:
It is important to ensure that parent topics contain all of the criteria of any of their children, the parent and child will not show in the table of contents if filtered using criteria which only the child satisfies.
You can refer to the help doc of criteria.

And if any suggestion on criteria relationship(parent & chidlren), please let us know, we want to enhance it in next release
