Re: [ease-dev] [GSoC-2015]Help Hover Tooltips

Hi Christian,

I have already read that tutorial.:) I saw that tutorial after sending you the mail. In addition to that tutorial I went through the https://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Online%20Help%20for%202_0/help1.htm and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-echelp/ tutorials as well.

According to my knowledge, in order to a add a new html page to "org.eclipse.help" plugin I have to edit the plugin.xml file. "org.eclipse.ease.core" repository doesn't include that plugin. But there is a plugin "org.eclipse.ease.help" in "org.eclipse.ease.core" repository. But that plugin does not include in eclipse plugins directory even though I had added all the EASE core components to Eclipse IDE. Then I manually added that plugin to eclipse plugins directory and it works fine. That plugin already included a default page for "Scripting User Guide". Shall I create similar plugin for the "Scripting Developer Guide"?

Thank you.

Hi Vidura,

 

again, a tutorial from Lars helps out here:

 

http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseRCPHelpSystem/article.html

 

Please add a default page for the Scripting Developer Guide. Add some generic content like “Eclipse Scripting project”. And add that html page to the org.eclipse.help plugin. We have to provide help pages step by step, but at least users will already be pointed to the right location.

 

Once you commit stuff, I will be able to review and comment on it, so feel free to push.

 

Best regards

Christian

Hi Christian,

Thank you very much for your guidelines. I added a new toolbar button "Open Script Help" to the script shell and by clicking on it I can access to any hard coded URL in "http://127.0.0.1:35167/help/index.jsp".

​Now I need a URI to access to Scripting Guide root node. As you said I have to add a simple default page for the Scripting Guide root node. But I don't know the correct procedure to add such a page. Can you give me some guidelines for that?

Thank you.

HI,

1) to test plugins, just launch an RCP application from your development IDE. Activate all necessary plugins and try out your new code.

2) you cannot point to a dedicated plugin here. Best option would be to point to the Scripting Guide root node. Not sure if you can address a book programmatically or i you have to provide an HTML URI to open. In the latter case you would have to add a simple default page for the Scripting Guide root node as such a page does not exist yet. You could also point to the root of the Loadable Modules page. I leave this up to you to decide.

regards
Christian
