I followed the Javadoc view pattern (I know it's not the same) to have no way to setting what to be shown except from code. It is really pretty basic (still) - open the view, set the man page to be shown. You can see http://shelled.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/shelled/trunk/net.sourceforge.shelled.ui/src/net/sourceforge/shelled/ui/commands/ShowManHandler.java?revision=107&view=markup for an example usage. Another option is to get stripped html page - see http://shelled.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/shelled/trunk/net.sourceforge.shelled.ui/src/net/sourceforge/shelled/ui/selection/ShellDocumentationProvider.java?revision=17&view=markup it's quite useful for tooltips and etc. Current target are other plugin developers wanting to use it to show manpages for parts of their work because I never found the time to work on UI things - like adding a way to set the man page to be shown, a man page browser that allows you browsing man pages and categories(like yelp and kde help center allows you), integration into Eclipse Help Center and etc. All of these are nice to have features that I can't sign for working on anytime soon but help is more than welcome and I'll kindly review and apply patches.
