| |
| <p>Active help is the ability to invoke Eclipse code from on-line |
| documentation. It is implemented by including some JavaScript in your |
| documentation that describes a class that should be run inside the Eclipse |
| platform. </p> |
| |
| <p>For example, instead of writing, "Go to the Window Menu and open the |
| message dialog," your on-line help can include a link that will open your |
| application's message dialog for the user. Active help links look like hyperlinks in |
| the on-line help.</p> |
| |
| <p>Below is an active help link that opens a message dialog in the workbench. |
| We will take a look at how to make this work.</p> |
