Eclipse help processing
The eclipsehelp transformation generates XHTML-based output and files that are needed to
create an Eclipse Help system plug-in. Once the normal XHTML process has run, the dita.map.eclipse
target is used to create a set of control files and navigation files.
Eclipse uses multiple files to control the plug-in behavior. Some of these control files are generated by the
build, while others might be created manually. The following Ant targets control the Eclipse help processing:
dita.map.eclipse.init- Sets up various default properties
dita.map.eclipse.toc- Creates the XML file that defines an Eclipse table of contents
dita.map.eclipse.index- Creates the sorted XML file that defines an Eclipse index
dita.map.eclipse.plugin- Creates the plugin.xml file that controls the behavior of an Eclipse plug-in
dita.map.eclipse.plugin.properties- Creates a Java properties file that sets properties for the plug-in, such as name and version information
dita.map.eclipse.manifest.file- Creates a MANIFEST.MF file that contains additional information used by Eclipse
copy-plugin-files- Checks for the presence of certain control files in the source directory, and copies those found to the output directory
dita.map.eclipse.fragment.language.init- Works in conjunction with the
dita.map.eclipse.fragment.language.country.initanddita.map.eclipse.fragment.errortargets to control Eclipse fragment files, which are used for versions of a plug-in created for a new language or locale
Several of the targets listed above have matching templates for processing content that is located outside of
the scope of the map directory, such as dita.out.map.eclipse.toc.
