Description Beth Tibbitts CLA 2011-03-01 11:33:16 EST 
In 5.0 we have an extension point (org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common.althelp) for contributing alternative help files that override those in another plugin (e.g. more extensive help than what the default pldt plugin for an API (e.g. MPI) provides.)

Need a way to provide these in 4.0 - to deliver this enhanced content on workbenches built with PTP 4.0.x.

I plan to recognize a plugin fragment with html directory name "html2" and this will override the "html" directory in the host plug-in. So essentially this hard-codes in 4.0.x what the extension point makes more flexible in 5.0.

fixed in ptp_4_0 branch.  
org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common.editorHelp.CHelpResourceDescriptorImpl.java
now looks for html2 dir and if it exists, uses that instead of html dir
