I wanted to make sure that it is possible to generate eclipse help from the documentation and integrate it into eclipse. Starting with the development manual and the quick start guide was the obvious choice. But, as I didn't encounter any problems using the docbook eclipse stylesheet on the documentation, I suspect that integrating the other documents is also possible.
I will give it a try and let you know about the results.

Subject: [yocto] [RFC 0/8] Integrate yocto documentation into eclipse

From: Timo Mueller <timo.muel...@bmw-carit.de>

Hi,

the documentation of the yocto project can currently be viewed online
or as a separate pdf. When using the eclipse ide to develop software
on base of a yocto sysroot and toolchain it would be convenient to
access the relevant parts of the documentation from within the ide.

In order to achieve this, I've generated eclipse help from yocto's
documentation (adt-manual, yocto-project-qs). I have intergrated this
documentation in the ide and it can now be accessed through the
eclipse help center (Help -> Help Contents). Please let me know what
you think about it?

Yocto's documentation is licensed under the Creative Commons
Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales (CCA-SA), which is
incompatible to the Eclipse Public License 1.0. Thus I've created a
standalone feature to simply redistribute the documentation avoiding
licensing issues. Do you agree on the way this is structured?

Cheers,
   Timo
