# DITA to Eclipse help

Eclipse output is an XHTML based output format used by the Eclipse Help system.

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:

- plugin.xml, the required control file for any Eclipse plug-in.
- An Eclipse table of contents, based on the name of the input map (mapname.ditamap will generate mapname.xml).
- An Eclipse index file with any index entries from the content, in a file named index.xml.
- Additional control files for Eclipse named plugin.properties and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
