Build Identifier: all

The Dali doc plugin (org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user) has a 'requires' statement in the manifest.mf for org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets. When Eclipse help is use as a stand-alone help system, separate from Eclipse, it doesn't include the plugins that support non-doc requirements, so the documentation for Dali does not appear in the IC.

Please remove the requires statement for the cheatsheet plugin, or separate out the cheatsheet files from the help documentation files and include them in another plug-in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Eclipse and follow the instructions for creating a stand-alone help system (http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fua_help_setup_standalone.htm)
2. Add the org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user plug-in to the plugins folder
3. Start the IC. 

Because the dependency is not met, the DALI docs to not appear. In our organization we do not have to option to add code plugins to Eclipse to meet dependencies.

This bug would require plugin restructuring so deferring to next major release.  As a workaround help.eclipse.org could be used.

Targeting to Juno release.

Cheatsheet content has been removed from the doc plugin.  Will open new bug to update cheatsheets and move to new plugin.
