Re: [platform-doc-dev] organization of platform doc plug-ins

Susan,   To be in a truely useful form, the platform doc needs to be more 
modular that it is now so that its content can be better used and 
augmented by client products. This is something that was discussed for 
3.0, but ultimately deferred because of the considerable effort involved. 
So I wouldn't worry about splitting the platform doc into separate RCP and 
IDE plug-ins at this time.

[platform-doc-dev] organization of platform doc plug-ins







In light of the "rich client" reorg of plug-ins, do you think we should 
have two separate doc plug-ins for the platform isv doc? 
Something like 

org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv - contains overview of architecture, runtime, 
jface, swt, workbench, basic workbench extensions, help 
org.eclipse.ide.doc.isv - contains sections from old doc:  resources, 
search, compare, team, debug, ant, etc.  The porting guide would probably 
live here too. 
(I may have some of the particular divisions wrong as I'm just looking at 
this.) 

Is there a plan to do the same kind of thing for the user doc? 
Looking for comments or pointers to any open bugs addressing this topic. 
Thanks.
