The previous entry has talked about the implementation details of the Eclipse Help view, and how it is using an embedded HTTP server powered by Jetty to serve dynamic content from a number of sources. Once you have such a custom server in place, you can embed a Browser control in any view / editor and call its setUrl method to show the required content. The links in the browser control will be handled in the same way as in the usual browser control - relative links will be served by the same HTTP server, and absolute links can point to content on the intranet or even external internet pages. But what about the live help actions?
