Installing new or updated documentation plug-ins

The help system works with any information that has been packaged as an Eclipse documentation plug-in, including IBM product documentation plug-ins. IBM documentation plug-ins are easily identified because they use a common directoy-naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).

To install or upgrade documentation plug-ins, complete the following steps:

  1. Obtain the documentation plug-ins. For example, you might go to an IBM product Web page to download documentation plug-ins.
  2. Copy the documentation plug-in folders to the eclipse\plugins folder of the directory where the help system is installed. For example on the Windows platform, if you installed the help system to c:\WebSphere Help System, you would copy the documentation plug-in folders to: c:\WebSphere Help System\eclipse\plugins.
  3. To see the newly added documentation plug-in, start the help system (or stop the help system and restart it if it was running).
