A plugin, but typically main product plugin defines Eclipse activities =
as in =
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -ui-home/acti=
vities/activities.html
where in expression=20
identifier :=3D plugin-identifier + "/" + local-identifier=20
local-identifier in help context is a name of the TOC file. For example =
pattern=3D"org\.eclipse\.platform\.doc\.isv/topics_Samples\.xml "> =
corresponds to examples subtree in Platform Developers Guide book. If =
the activity for which this pattern is defined in product plugin.xml is =
disabled, the topics from topic_Samples.xml are missing from the tree.
Identifiers for activity mapping are regular expressions so another =
example pattern=3D"org\.eclipse\.platform\.doc\.isv.*" will match =
anything in this plug-in effectively filtering all TOCs from this =
plug-in. More elaborate expressions can be created.

Hi,=20
I'm trying to figure out what effect activities have on the help in M8 =
and haven't had much luck finding information on this. I have been able =
to locate some information regarding the use of activities - but not =
specific to the help system. Can anyone provide any insight on this or =
direct me to an appropriate source of information?=20
Basically, I'm trying to figure out how help that is related to a =
specific activity (eg. Debugging) can be filtered. Is it filtered at the =
book level, so that only books that contain information related to =
enabled activities appear in the online help? If this is the case, how =
can this be accomplished?=20
Thanks for your help.=20

Books can be built from multiple TOCs. The solution is to group =
debugger topics into their own TOC file. Your toc_Reference.xml can =
contain anchor or link to toc_debugger.xml and toc_debugger.xml can be =
mapped to a Debugger activity. This way the Reference book will stay =
visible, but its Debugger part will be filtered out.

Thanks for the information - I have been able to get this to work in =

I have one further question...can I use activities to filter at a =
lower level than the TOC file? For example, I have a TOC file called =
toc_Reference.xml that contributes a book called "Reference" to the help =
system. This book contains a variety of parent topics, including a top =
level "Debugger" topic. When I have the Debugging activity enabled, I =
want this "Debugger" topic (and its children) to appear; when the =
Debugging activity is disabled, I don't want this topic (and its =
children) to appear within the Reference book in the help.=20
Is there any way using activities that I can control filtering at this =
level?=20
Thanks again for your help.=20
