Ant Manual for Eclipse

I have created a task+buildfile for creating an Eclipse Help PlugIn from
our manual.
The task Manual4Eclipse generates a plugin.xml and a toc.xml. The
plugin.xml is hard coded.
The toc.xml is the result from analysing the html manual.
After generation the buildfile collects these two files and all the
manual files and creates
a JAR Eclipse could use.
That stuff works for me, but could need some more eyes on it. ;-)

Because I use DOM for analysing the manual pages, I had to make some
navigation lists XHTML conform.

I want to submit my changes into manual+sandbox.


What do you think?

FYI - for NetBeans I do something roughly similar, to create a JavaHelp 
help set:

http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/~checkout~/ant/docs/antsrc/MakeManual.java

Messy but seems to work.

Hello Jan,

I also think it is a good idea. Maybe you should also inform the eclipse 
dev list or specially Darin Swanson directly, to make sure that what you 
will do will be really useful for the Eclipse project. [maybe you did it 
already - please forgive me in advance if this is the case ].

Regards,

Antoine

Sounds good to me as an eclipse user (but not plugin writer yet).
Besides I thought that was one of the reasons for moving to Antlibs,
the barrier to entry of new tasks is lessened if they are separate
from the core
