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.
