<title>DITA to Eclipse help</title>
<shortdesc>Eclipse output is an XHTML based output format used by
the Eclipse Help system.</shortdesc>
<conbody>
<p>To create a documentation plug-in for the Eclipse platform, set
the transform type to "eclipsehelp". In addition to the standard XHTML
and CSS files, this transform will generate the following output files:<ul>
<li><filepath>plugin.xml</filepath>, the required control file for
any Eclipse plug-in.</li>
<li>An Eclipse table of contents, based on the name of the input map
(<filepath>mapname.ditamap</filepath> will generate <filepath>mapname.xml</filepath>).</li>
<li>An Eclipse index file with any index entries from the content,
in a file named <filepath>index.xml</filepath>.</li>
<li>Additional control files for Eclipse named <filepath>plugin.properties</filepath> and <filepath>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</filepath>.</li>
</ul></p>
<draft-comment>RDA> The following paragraph correctly describes the
Eclipse Help specialization, but I'm keeping it out until we have
more complete documentation. I'd like to get more complete docs on
this into an upcoming milestone.<p>For more complex plug-ins, the <filepath>demo/</filepath> directory
in the DITA-OT contains an "Eclipse Map" specialization that gives
more control over the generated <filepath>plugin.xml</filepath> file.
The specialization provides additional control over metadata, as well
as the ability to reference multiple TOC files, index files, and other
Eclipse extensions.</p></draft-comment><?Pub Caret -1?>
