Question

Cannot create EclipseHelp from RoboHelp

Hello Adobe Forum,

our company develops a new software with Eclipse. My part is to write the user manual and the online help. Our developers want to use the standard help plugin from Eclipse to integrate the online help content in our new software.

I tried to create an EclipseHelp from RoboHelp as mentioned here: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2009/12/how_to_generate_eclipse_help_from_robohelp.html

But unfortunately I can´t display it in Eclipse. Sometimes I get the message "Kindly generate WebHelp SSL" and sometimes "Script failed".

In which folder do I have to generate the WebHelp? In the eclipse plugin folder or can I choose any folder I want?

Do I have to do additional settings in Eclipse or must I start it in a "special way"?

Thanks, malone10

    "In which folder do I have to generate the WebHelp? In the eclipse plugin folder or can I choose any folder I want?"

    Generate the WebHelp anywhere on your machine (step 6 mentions the default !SSL! folder, but you can generate anywhere else, such as C:MyRHEclipseHelp). The script in step 5 is what will actually transform the generated WebHelp and place it into the Eclipse folder you created in step 3.

    I've never used this, mind you, I'm just interpreting what I see in that instructional post.

    Good luck,

    Leon
