RE: [platform-help-dev] Eclipse Help in our own Tomcat

["Anil Gupta (CyberWeave)" <anil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dorian, thanx for a quick reply.

 

I have done the best I could to search for an answer.

 

I know  Eclipse Help uses embedded Tomcat.

 

But if each app used its own embedded Tomcat and other servers then lots of resources would be used up unnecessarily!

 

 

 

My question was how I could install Eclipse Help under an existing Tomcat installation.

 

An old document talks about installing Eclipse Help 2.0 under Tomcat but nothing on Eclipse Help 3.0

 

I would really appreciate from useful pointers.

 

 

Thanx, Anil

Anil,

This mailing list is for help system development. User questions should be asked on the eclipse.platform newsgroup.
Do a search in the online help for how to install the infocenter. It does not need another server, it will use its own.

Subject	[platform-help-dev] Eclipse Help in our own Tomcat

We need to run our Eclipse Help as another app under our own Tomcat
installation.

I need the latest instructions to install Eclipse Help 3.0 under our own
Tomcat.

I have read the page titled:   Installing the help system as an infocenter

but it seems to refer to outdated files that I cannot find. Example:



In Tomcat 4.0.3 edit tomcat/bin/setclasspath.bat file and after the line:
set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
insert the line:

set
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.webapp_2.0.0\infoc
enter\eclipseurl.jar.
Because of changes to the xml library, remove tomcat\common\lib\xerces.jar,
then edit setclasspath.bat by replacing the line
set JAVA_OPTS=
with
set
JAVA_OPTS=-Xbootclasspath/a:d:\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.xerces_4.0.3\xerce
sImpl.jar;d:\eclipse\plugins\org.apaches.xerces_4.0.3\xmlParserAPIs.jar.



Please tell me how the above instructions should be modified for the latest
Eclipse release.


Anil
