Adding context sensitive help [message #629554]

Q1: Which plugins are needed as dependencies to display the online help with the separate window. displayDynamicHelp() seems to work fine, but displayHelp() does nothing since it is trying to open the help system in a separate window. I am guessing I am missing some dependent plugin, just not sure which one.

Q2: I want to set a placeholder in a perspective for the dynamic help window, where is the VIEW_ID for the dynamic help window located?

There is no constant. You have to use "org.eclipse.help.ui.HelpView".
