A bare "http://help.eclipse.org" redirects to the help for the latest release: http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp Links to specific help pages look something like this: http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/notices.html It would be nice if we can have links like this: http://help.eclipse.org/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/notices.html ^^^^^^^^^^^ which would automatically redirect to the latest release (eg "/galileo/index.jsp")
Great idea. Does it have to be index.jsp? What about a simpler rewrite rule? http://help.eclipse.org/topic/(.)+ becomes http://help.eclipse.org/<whatever>/index.jsp?topic=$1
This came out of bug 315388, basically we're just looking for a way to point to individual topics in a version independent way, so yes, /topic/(.) seems even better.
Ping. Was updating out-of-date links on wiki pages which reminded me of this.
I've added the /topic/* rewrite rule. -M.
The link from comment 0 can now be written like this (note the // after topic): http://help.eclipse.org/topic//org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/notices.html
