The Data Tools Platform (DTP) help-helper plug-in is provided in the Eclipse DTP project, since version 1.5
(released June 29, 2007).
The DTP help-helper plug-in (org.eclipse.datatools.help) contributes two key
enablers for dynamic context-sensitive help:
- A ContextProviderDelegate implementation, whose methods allow the abstraction
of help context IDs and context-specific help search expressions from the user
interface (UI) code
- An extension point (org.eclipse.datatools.help.helpKeyProperties), which
allows other plug-ins to contribute ResourceBundle properties files that define
the mapping of abstract helpKey constants (used in the UI code) to externalized
help context ID strings and context-specific help search expressions
