With the information center, users can view, browse, and search online information.
The information center is built upon open source software developed by the Eclipse Project (http://www.eclipse.org). It can display content that has been packaged as an Eclipse documentation plug-in.
The information center uses an embedded Web application server to handle content requests in the system. This embedded Web server uses a random port to avoid port conflicts between applications.
Product or application developers can create their own documentation plug-ins and integrate them in the information center for viewing by their users. To learn about creating and packaging documentation plug-ins, see the Eclipse Project's Web site: http://www.eclipse.org.
