Help System</h1></center>
The Help System plug-in, <tt>org.eclipse.help</tt>, defines two extension
points (<tt>"contributions" </tt>and <tt>"contexts"</tt>) which allow individual
plug-ins to contribute online help and context-sensitive help for their
components. A typical plug-in would make use of these extension points.
<p>For more advanced applications, there is also an extension point&nbsp;
(<tt>"support"</tt>) for plugging in a a help system UI.
