Take a look at the org.eclipse.help.contentProducer
extension point for how to dynamically generate help content.
As a generic mechanism outside help,
the answer is no, you can't just register applications outside plugins.
However, it is possible to circumvent that with a bit of extra coding.
You will have to analyse any security implications.

Subject	[platform-help-dev] Using the Tomcat engine to serve other information

Hi, 

Is it possible to configure the tomcat engine that is shipped with Eclipse
to serve other information that may not be part of Eclipse?

Is there a way to configure it, so that it can serve other servlets and
other html documents which are not stored in any Eclipse plugin?

If it is possible, could you tell me how that can be done?

Thank you,
Probir
