<h1 class="topictitle1">helpKey Properties Files Extension</h1>
<div><p>Each plug-in that contributes helpKey properties files must declare an extension
to org.eclipse.datatools.help.helpKeyProperties in its plug-in manifest
(plugin.xml file).</p>
<div class="p"> For example:
<pre class="codeblock">
&lt;extension point="org.eclipse.datatools.help.helpKeyProperties"&gt;
&lt;contextIds plugin="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui"
file="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.contextIds.properties"/&gt;
&lt;searchExpressions plugin="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui"
file="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.searchExpressions.properties"/&gt;
&lt;/extension&gt;
</pre>
</div>
<p>The <samp class="codeph">&lt;contextIds&gt;</samp> element identifies a helpKey properties
file that defines help context IDs, and the UI plug-in for which it is provided.
</p>
<p>The <samp class="codeph">&lt;searchExpressions&gt;</samp> element identifies a helpKey properties file that
defines context-specific help search expressions, and the UI plug-in for which
it is provided.
</p>
<p>To accommodate context-sensitive help plug-ins that serve more than one UI
plug-in, the <samp class="codeph">&lt;extension&gt;</samp> element can contain any
number of <samp class="codeph">&lt;contextIds&gt;</samp> and
<samp class="codeph">&lt;searchExpressions&gt;</samp> elements.
