geneclipsetoc-maven-plugin

Maven plugin to generate an eclipse help toc.xml file from existing html files.

Description

This is a maven plugin that takes as input an ordered list of HTML pages and that generate a table of content file (toc.xml file) for these pages. With this xml file, it is possible to publish the HTML pages as guide in an Eclipse Help Center.

The approach was originally described here: Generating Eclipse Help from existing HTML Documentation

It is based on the mylyn-wikitext project and very similar to the wikitext-to-eclipse-help task provided by the project. The only difference here is that there is no markup to HTML conversion during the process.

If you think that geneclipsetoc should be contributed to the mylyn-wikitext project, please give your opinion on Bug 478466.
