Re: [platform-help-dev] Request to grow a new fragment

[konradk@xxxxxxxxxx]

Second alternative is to add the code inside the org.eclipse.help.ui
plugin, just create a package like there exist for each of Unixes.  To
understand which is better - create a fragment or not, I have few questions
as I have not seen the MacOS code.

1.  Is it only a browser adapter contribution, or are there changes to
org.eclipse.help.ui required?
2.  Is the code independent of MacOS SWT features, and other native code,
or another words: does it compile on other platforms?
3.  Is it large amount of code, that would hurt if it were in a plugin
installed on all the platforms?
4.  Is it very stable and complete, or more like a prototype and more work
is in plans?

Thanks,

Andre's MacOS port of Eclipse is making it into the "real" build progress
over the next day or so.

Andre has some help changes for Mac that are required to select the system
browser and launch help.  We where thinking a good home for it would be the
org.eclipse.help.ui.macosx fragment.

What do you think.  If we could get the approval of the help team I could
try to expedite the fragment creation process through PMC.

Andre, of course, can provide more details.

Thanks folks,
