eclipse help browser
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 5:28 am
Hi,
I have begun experimenting with the Eclipse Platform
as a framework for an application I'm hoping to develop.
In my experiments I have noticed unacceptable behavior
concerning the Help Contents system. The behavior can
be seen by opening Help Contents and then oXygen User
Manual for Eclipse. If I now click on the link in the second
paragraph to http://www.apache.org, the Help Contents
browser is replaced with a browser control that has no
way to get back to the Help Contents. I have to close the
window and reopen Help Contents to get back to the
oXygen User Manual.
I know this is a problem with the Eclipse Platform, and
not specific to oXygen XML Editor ( it seems to happen
with any external link in any of the eclipse help contents)
but I wonder if this behavior has been noticed here, and more
specifically if any one here has devised any work-arounds
for this?
Thanks,
Jeff Higgins
