I'm trying to define symbolic links from one plugin to another. I'm using
Eclipse 2.1 as a help system. My application will need to symbolically
link books in one plugin to books in other plugins. For some reason, I'm
not able to get this to work. Instead of the displaying the document
pointed to, the target link is displayed. So when I select the link in my
toc, the content window displays something like the following:
/usr/eclipse1/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.infocenter.howtos/doc/ howto/HT_baseadmn_ReplDiskMirrored.htm
The link in my toc.xml file looks like this:
<topic label="test symbolic link"
href="doc/howto/HT_baseadmn_ReplDiskMirrored.htm"></topic>
The symbolic link is set up as follows:
doc/howto/HT_baseadmn_ReplDiskMirrored.htm->
/usr/eclipse1/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.infocenter.howtos/doc/ howto/HT_baseadmn_ReplDiskMirrored.htm
Shouldn't I be able to do this?
Another question, how do I create links in one document (not a toc) to
document in another plugin?
Thanks in advance, Carol

One caveat to the note below, I only have this problem when I've zipped my
directories with the symbolic links into a doc.zip file.
