Deploying the infocenter as a Web Archive
Using Eclipse 3.4 or later it is possible to configure the help plugins to be deployed 
as a web archive (war file) which will act as a fully 
functioning infocenter. The instructions below assume a Tomcat server has been 
installed, but with minor modifications 
these steps should work for any full featured server. 
In your Eclipse installation locate the plugin org.eclipse.help.webapp.<version>.jar 
and copy it to a temporary directory, 
unzip the copy into that folder.
  - In the webapp plugin locate the web-archive directory and underneath that 
there will be two directories titled "help" and 
 "org.eclipse.help.infocenter-feature".
- Import the org.eclipse.help.infocenter-feature using File->Import->Existing 
Project.
- Export org.eclipse.help.infocenter-feature as a deployable feature and set 
the destination to be
web-archive/help/WEB-INF/eclipse in the area where org.eclipse.help.webapp.<version>.jar 
was unzipped.
- Add some documentation plugins to the webapps/help/WEB-INF/eclipse/plugins 
directory.
- Download org.eclipse.equinox.http.servletbridge_<version>.jar and 
  org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge_<version>.jar from the
  equinox download site. 
  Select a version of Equinox that matches the version of Eclipse you are 
  running to take you to the downloads page.
- Extract servletbridge.jar from org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge_<version>.jar.
- Add the file servletbridge.jar to the help/WEB-INF/lib directory. You may 
need to create this directory.
- Add the file org.eclipse.equinox.http.servletbridge_<version>.jar to the 
help/WEB-INFeclipse/plugins directory
- At this stage you can create a war file from the help directory or you can 
copy the directory and its contents to the webapps 
folder of your Tomcat installation.
- Start Tomcat and see the help system start up.
Notes: If you look in the config.ini in the help.war file under directory help/WEB_INF/eclipse/configuration 
you will notice the
line eclipse.product=org.eclipse.productname. If your product has help system 
customizations in a product plugin you can 
activate these by changing this line to point to your product plugin.
