Subject: RE: [dita-help] Eclipse Installation


Tony;

There's a good wiki page @
http://dita.xml.org/wiki/setting-up-the-eclipse-help-infocenter-for-publ
ishing-dita-content that might serve as a starting point. I recently
updated the download link on that page to point to the place where
someone can quickly find the Platform Runtime Binary (which is quite
difficult to find if you walk in from the 'normal' eclipse.org
navigation).

I've also created a sub-topic that is linked from that page to describe
how to create a product customization plugin:
http://dita.xml.org/wiki/an-infocenter-product-plugin-cookbook 

Eric Sirois has also put some info on
http://dita.xml.org/wiki/parameters-to-the-dita-ot-transform to help
folks understand how to set parameters for the Open Toolkit's eclipse
help transtype.

Regards,
Bob

Subject: [dita-help] Eclipse Installation

Hi everyone

In one of my consultancy jobs, the client wants to use Eclipse Help as a
standalone (ie, not related to an Eclipse application) Web delivery
option.
However, they have found it difficult to set up the necessary Eclipse
runtimes. To be more specific, it seems to be quite difficult for
someone not intimately familiar with the Eclipse environment to work out
what needs to be installed. As an example, it seems that you may have to
download and install the "Platform Runtime Binary"... what the Dickens
does that mean? 

In the Help Technologies Guide, Jeff Antley has written a very useful
overview of Eclipse Help and the CS plug-in, but I'm wondering if we
need to go further, and provide clear installation instructions. Perhaps
we also need to put together a minimum Eclipse setup for supporting
Help. Unless this has already been done, in which case we could point to
it.

I think Stan has encountered some similar difficulties. What does
everyone think about this issue? Jeff, do you have any advice or
suggestions?

Regards

Tony Self
