[oXygen-user] Replace Java help with Windows help

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello Chris,

The Dynamic Help view is a dockable view that displays a help page 
depending on the context of the cursor. For example open the view from 
menu Help -> Show Dynamic Help view or from menu Perspective -> Show 
View -> Dynamic Help. After that open an XSLT stylesheet and place the 
cursor in the stylesheet, open an XML file and place the cursor in the 
file, click on a node of the tree of the Project view to see how the 
Dynamic Help view changes the content.


Regards,
Sorin
