Short Steps:
1. Create a context help file and add a context id to it.
2. Extend the o..e.help.contexts and point it to this file
3. Associate the editor to the context help by calling setHelpContextId
How to:
1. Create a context help file and add a context id to it.
Use
File -> New and choose
Context Help. Give it a meaning full name. In PDE
contexts_PDE.xml (in
o.e.pde.doc.user) contains contexts help ids for PDE UI stuff while api_
contexts.xml for API Tooling.
Add a context to it and name it like
editor_main_page. Give some description
Context Help Editor
2. Extend the o..e.help.contexts and point it to this file
Add an extension
org.eclipse.help.contexts (this will add a dependency to
o.e.help). Add a new
contexts to it. In the details section, point it to the context file created above.
Extension page
3. Associate the editor to the context help by calling setHelpContextId
In your editor class call
setHelpContextId to associate the editor to the context help
editor_main_page.
public XMLEditor() {
super();
colorManager = new ColorManager();
setSourceViewerConfiguration(new XMLConfiguration(colorManager));
setDocumentProvider(new XMLDocumentProvider());
setHelpContextId("my.editor.sample.editor_context");
}
