Context Sensitive Help in pure E4 Eclipse RCP Application

I'm new to Eclipse E4 RCP and am looking for some guidance on how to implement a light-weight context-sensitive help solution in a pure E4 Eclipse RCP application. I'm hoping to have this work in a similar format to other applications that I've seen but are authored in Eclipse RCP 3.x, that is, in a window as part of the E4 RCP application, and not launching an external browser.

Any suggestions on where I might find some definitive information on this E4 Context-Sensitive Help Implementation / functionality?

Any suggestions on tutorials would be most welcomed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Solution

  • The e4 code defines an EHelpService service, but there is no standard implementation of this service.

    So basic e4 code has no help system available.
