Choosing a Help Format

[Fei Min Lorente]

Okay, that would explain why no one seems to be using Eclipse Help unless it's an Eclipse product. :-)

We're concerned about the OmniHelp files on the theory that if people can do something, someone will. That could be a completely unfounded concern, so I'm glad to hear opinions to the contrary.

I agree with Jeremy, standalone EclipseHelp is a huge and complicated distributable. It's not a practical format. I'm not sure if there's a use case where it would make sense.

Why would users mess with your help files?
