Re: [ease-dev] Help Tutorials

[Vidura Mudalige <vbmudalige@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christian,

I thought I will need a very deep knowledge about eclipse help system to continue the project. If it is not I think the knowledge I got from those tutorials will be enough to continue.

I created a bug for "Help hovers for the modules explorer" as you said. But its status is UNCONFIRMED. I think it needs your confirmation to save the bug.

Thank you.

Hi Vidura,

I started a new thread as the old one already got real messy.
The help tutorial you found are good ones. Not sure what is missing there. Generally you do not need to know a lot about help page creation or how to bind them to the help system. What you will need is to find a relevant help page and to extract information from there. Yet if you have a specific question on help pages best ask either here or in the eclipse forums.

Regarding gerrit you may keep your commits locally as long as you want. It is the push, that triggers a review. Committing keeps everything on your local machine, push sends your changes to the eclipse server.
I would suggest to cluster your work in sub topics. Eg start with help hovers for the modules explorer. Create a bug for it and start implementing. Once you feel you got something to share or have questions on an implementation detail, just push it to gerrit and I can have a look. It is quite common to have multiple patch sets on one gerrit topic.
