Eclipse Help cross plug-in references

[Eric Johnson-30]

If I generate a number of Eclipse Help plug-ins using olinks to generate x-refs between the plug-ins, does the generation templates create working cross-plugin references?

I've done cross plugin help references using the standard ulink.  
x-refs will work within the same set of docbook files that are generated.

As long as the link comes out as <a href="../pluginID/page.html"> (where pluginID is the pluginid of the target plugin and page.html is the page linked to) and both plugins are in the same infocenter, then the links should work. I haven't used olinks but my understanding of them is that you can set up a sitemap in your olink db and pretend the plugin ids are folder names. Ulinks would also work but would lose the benefits of olinks.
