Description Helmut J. Haigermoser CLA 2011-12-13 05:34:04 EST 
Build Identifier: 

Context sensitive help for actions in menus is great. For example, I can hover
on top of my "Refresh" action, press F1 and get a one-sentence description of
what this will do to me if I choose to use. However, there are some actions
that don't have this working (the list is not complete of course), amongst them
 "Replace with Local History"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click a project in your package explorer view
2. Hover on top of a "Replace with Local History" action and press F1
3. Check if an appropriate help message comes up

The docs team sent me to the individual teams to get F1 fixed for every action
one at a time, please see the linked bugzilla for the umbrella I originally
filed..

This seems to be a general issue with all Compare/Team actions, which are not org.eclipse.jface.action.Actions but org.eclipse.ui.IActionDelegates. The context help you mentioned must be associated with an IAction (see org.eclipse.ui.help.IWorkbenchHelpSystem.setHelp(IAction, String)). I guess it's another reason to tackle bug 196349 soon, until then I'm removing the target milestone from this bug.

Please ignore my previous comment. After looking at the twin bug 366512 and some more digging it looks to be achievable without fixing bug 196349. I'm on it.

The action is not available on project level, if you meant "Restore from Local History...", please file a separate bug for it. 

The "Replace With > Local History..." action being fixed here is available for unmanaged files.

Fixed with 4981966662e63b6fe5bef93129b4dd28ef1ac941 in eclipse.platform.team and 2b1eb2365100b9e3d14a886d8bf6d96cac1a86a8 in eclipse.platform.common.
