Description Tim Buschtoens

The RAP Developers Guide has a few links to the RAP API reference. They are all dead in the online version, which gives a unprofessional impression. 

The best solution would be to add the API reference to the website. Alternatively, the links could either be removed from the online version, or changed to point to the eclipse online help: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/nav/42_4

Fixed for 1.4/1.5, but 2.0 is pointing to the 1.5 reference (since 2.0 isn't online yet). This will be a problem until the kepler help is online, as 2.0 is released months before.

Tim, the 2.0 reference is published on the download server. That's where the links should point to:

2.0: http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/doc/2.0/guide/reference/api/index.html
1.5: http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/doc/1.5/help/html/reference/api/index.html
1.4: http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/doc/1.4/help/html/reference/api/index.html

Ah, right i alrady did that. Only links that start with "/help" point to help.eclipse.org. I wonder if this can be an issue or not.

These are links to other Eclipse project's documentation. For 2.0, they should point to the Juno version, 2.1 will then point to Kepler.

Hm, at least some seem to pint to indigo (RWT Standalone -> "Source Attachment")

This was literally the only link that pointed to the wrong help version. Since the linked article doesn't seem to have any significant changes between the two versions it's only a very minor issue. Fixed in master with commit fefef6410afff5777fc9754991fc1469aa23bfa8. Bug closed.
