| <div><p>Names of helpKey properties files are arbitrary (as long as they end with |
| .properties). However, a context-sensitive help plug-in could contribute pairs |
| of helpKey properties files for several UI plug-ins, and the files would need to |
| have unique names, if they were located in the same directory. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <div class="p">As a convention, helpKey properties file names should correspond with the UI |
| plug-in that they serve. For example: |

| |
| <p>To allow arbitrary names for helpKey properties files, and to abstract the names |
| of helpKey properties files from UI components, the DTP help-helper provides an |
| extension point (org.eclipse.datatools.help.helpKeyProperties). That extension |
| point allows any plug-in to declare helpKey properties file contributions for a |
| UI plug-in. |
