Register Cheat Sheet Wizard

About This Wizard

This wizard allows you to register a simple or composite cheat sheet with the Eclipse workbench to make it accessible through the Help menu.

The underlying operation performed by this wizard involves generating the XML-related mark-up for the Cheat Sheet Content extension point (org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets.cheatSheetContent) and adding it to the plugin.xml file belonging to the plug-in project the cheat sheet being registered is contained within.

A brief description and problem domain category may be specified for the cheat sheet during registration. This wizard will only register the cheat sheet once. Subsequent uses of this wizard allow the user to update the cheat sheet description and category values of the original registration.

To register the current cheat sheet being edited, click the Register this cheat sheet hyperlink in the title area of the Simple Cheat Sheet Editor or Composite Cheat Sheet Editor.
