Hi, today I was reading eclipse documentation and exploring some plugins hoping to find previous experiences but ... nothing! (I can not belive that we are the first boys with this problem). About A and B alternative, have you try them? Do they work? If that is yes then, how the eclipse platform links the <locale> with the correct help (en, es, ....)? Actually, I am not sure about what is the better option :(. -- Mauricio Pazos www.axios.es tel-:+34 94 441 63 84 _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
