About the document plug-ins
The documentation is packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins and must be viewed using the IBM WebSphere Help System. The help system (or viewer) and document plug-in format are based on an open source approach developed by the Eclipse Project. IBM product document plug-ins are contained in folders that follow a consistent naming convention (com.ibm.xxx.doc).
Installing the document plug-ins
To view IBM product documentation in the viewer, you must install new or updated document plug-ins into the eclipse\plugins folder of the IBM WebSphere Help System. The help system works with any information that has been packaged as an Eclipse document plug-in, including IBM product document plug-ins.
To install document plug-ins, complete the following steps:
Keep in mind that this must be the eclipse\plugins folder of the IBM WebSphere Help system; you might have additional eclipse\plugins folders on your system.
To start the viewer:
Note: It might take a few minutes for the system to start and the document plug-ins to be displayed the first time you start it.
When you close the viewer by simply closing its window, its processes are still running in the background. This enables a much faster launch during subsequent sessions. However, you must shut down these processes when you install document plug-ins or update the help system with new plug-ins. Shutting down the viewer when not in use also frees up system memory. When you shut down your machine, all help system processes shut down.
