Description Kari Halsted

As a follow-up to enh 122967, allow a user to not only access a centralized remote help server directly from their workbench, but also to install help content (doc) plug-ins locally, and have those integrated into the same Help System view as the remote content.

The scenario is this: developer works for big company who has centralized the product docs for their developers on a remote server (developers still access it via Help > Help Contents or links from context help or Welcome). Then the developer installs a new Eclipse-based tool (and docs) that the other users aren't using -- wants to see help, but his Eclipse is pointed at the remote help server.

If the local installation and the remote help server both contain a given help resource (could be different versions), which one should take precedence?

UA team has decided that we will not deliver remote help without this mixed enhancement with it. So rather than have two enhancements, I will combine them into one for easier tracking.
