For providing web browsers capable of displaying html documents at a given URL. the unique ID of the browser. the implementation class for the browser factory. This class must implement the <samp>org.eclipse.ui.browser.BrowserFactory</samp> interface. the name of the browser (translatable). comma separated list of operating systems. Only browsers with the correct OS will be used. If the os parameter is empty, the browser will be assumed to work on all OS the executable filename Default install locations. these locations should not contain the initial path, as it will be substituted with all known drives. (e.g. on Windows, a location of "test.exe" would look for "c:\test.exe", "d:\test.exe", etc. for all known drives. 3.0 (originally added in release 2.0 as org.eclipse.help.ui.browser) The following is a sample usage of the browser extension point: <p> <pre> <extension point="org.eclipse.help.base.browser"> <browser id="org.eclipse.myPlugin.myBrowserID" factoryClass="org.eclipse.myPlugin.myPackage.MyFactoryClass" name="My Browser"> </browser> </extension> </pre> </p> The supplied factory class must implement the <samp>org.eclipse.help.browser.IBrowserFactory</samp> interface. Methods in that interface determine whether the factory is available on the given system, i.e. is capable of supplying browser instances, and create browser instances that implement IBrowser interface. The <samp>org.eclipse.help.base</samp> and <samp>org.eclipse.help.ui</samp> plug-ins contain implementation of browsers on common platforms. Other plug-ins can provide different implementations. In the preferences, the user can select the default browser from among available browsers. Copyright (c) 2000, 2005 IBM Corporation and others.<br> All rights reserved.
