Browser

Identifier:
org.eclipse.help.base.browser

Since:
3.0 (originally added in release 2.0 as org.eclipse.help.ui.browser)

Description:
For providing web browsers capable of displaying html documents at a given URL.

Note: since 3.1, help system uses workbench browser support (see org.eclipse.ui.browserSupport). The extension point described in this document remains to be used for standalone help only. Any custom browser adapters that need to work in the workbench mode need to be moved to the workbench extension point.

  • id - the unique ID of the browser.
  • factoryclass - the implementation class for the browser factory. This class must implement the org.eclipse.help.browser.IBrowserFactory interface. This attribute may be omitted, and the nested factoryclass element may be provided instead.
  • name - the name of the browser (translatable).

The following is a sample usage of the browser extension point:

"org.eclipse.help.base.browser"
>
  <browser 
   id=
"org.eclipse.myPlugin.myBrowserID"

   factoryclass=
"org.eclipse.myPlugin.myPackage.MyFactoryClass"

   name=
"My Browser"
>
  </browser>
 </extension>

Supplied Implementation:
The org.eclipse.help.base and org.eclipse.help.ui plug-ins contain implementation of browsers on common platforms. Other plug-ins can provide different implementations. In the preferences, the user can select the default browser from among available browsers.
