[geclipse-dev] New predefined solutions for help-system and cheatsheets

[Ariel Garcia <garcia@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

i wanted to make you aware that we now have the possibility to 
automatically open the help-browser at specified help-page --or the 
cheatsheet viewer at a given cheatsheet-- from a solution in the problem 
dialog.
These could be very helpful for more complicated situations where 
suggesting a solution cannot be done in one sentence.... i think for 
instance in  VTK, when setting up the pipelines etc would be great to 
direct the user to a help/cheatsheet if the params do not make sense.


Concretely, this means, you can add a solution with either of the new 
predefined tags "cheatsheetTag" or "helpTag" to the problem reporting 
extension point as follows:

<solution
  description="Follow the 'Getting started' tutorial"
  id="eu.geclipse.solution.net.followGettingStarted">
  <cheatsheetTag
    cheatsheetID="eu.geclipse.doc.user.gettingStarted">
  </cheatsheetTag>
</solution>

<solution
  description="Read the introductory help"
  id="eu.geclipse.solution.net.openPrerequisitesHelp">
  <helpTag
  pagePath="/eu.geclipse.doc.user/html/gettingstarted/prerequisites.html">
  </helpTag>
</solution>


Cheers, Ariel
