Hi,

We are describing processes, guidelines for day-to-day use by our java
developers using EPF

The best would be to have the EPF generated output as Eclipse Help for
their daily use.

Can that be done ?

That would be really great. I think our vision document contains a feature
that allows publishing Cheat Sheets as well.

We just have not found contributors for this, yet. Would you be interested
in contributing the implementation code for this? The Help thing seems to
be quite straightforward as you just need to generate XML files for the help
system instead of our tree browser. Also the Cheat Sheets would be easy:
parse a tool mentor and generate xml tags for each section.

Thanks and best regards,

Not having any idea how much work is involved, I cannot make any hard
promises.
But the feature is really very useful to us, so I can defend spending
some time on it.
If you point me in the right direction I look into it

Re: Fw: EPF output -> eclipse Help

Hi, Peter and Danny,

An easy way to extend the current publishing behavior is to add your own
publisher, the new publisher should extend the
org.eclipse.epf.publishing.ui.publusher extension point. In this extension
point, you need to specify your own Wizard class and publishign manager
class. The wizard class should extends
org.eclipse.epf.publishing.wizards.AbstractPublishWizard. The manager class
should extend the org.eclipse.epf.publishing.services.AbstractPublishManager

Once you have implemented the new features, you can consider merging the
changes into the EPF publisher.

Please let me know if you have any question.

Thanks,

Jinhua
