Solution

In response to these diverse challenges, Fujitsu Enabling
Software Technology GmbH selected the software DITAworks
from *instinctools after an extensive trial.
DITAworks is a software solution that allows creation and
management of different types of documentations, such as
manuals, training materials, process descriptions or online
help, according to the single-source principle DITA standard.
DITAworks supports the entire documentation lifecycle
from modeling, through creating / editing, to publishing.
Once created, content can be reused in different
contexts and can be published in various formats such as
XHTML, PDF, RTF, Eclipse Help, DocBook.
Fujitsu Enabling Software Technology GmbH deployed
DITAworks solution for Eclipse which also has special functions
for the documentation of Eclipse-based applications.
Existing content and the model were carefully analyzed.
Recommendations for the migration to the latest DITA
standard and integration with the existing development
and publication process as well as the XMetaL-Editor were
developed. *instinctools completed the implementation of
the recommendations in consultation with Fujitsu Enabling Software Technology GmbH.

Result
After the existing content has been migrated to the latest
DITA standard and its adoption completed in DITAworks,
there are no obstacles in the immediate usage of the
convenient options that DITAworks offers:
The integration with the development process has
taken place
A plug-in for the Eclipse IDE enables the assignment
of Help Contexts and synchronization with the
source code
ID Wizards help documentation and development
teams for synchronization
Dynamic Context ID Mapping supported (DTP
approach)
Specific transformations for Eclipse Help are available
Specific validations for Eclipse Help are available
With the DITA specialization for Eclipse Help, Eclipse
help deliverables (such as Contexts, Live Actions
and Cheat Sheets) can be defined
The technical writers are working with their
preferred editor
Existing Eclipse Help Plug-ins can be imported.
The DITAworks solution for Eclipse Help addresses the
key challenges in the documentation of Eclipse RCP
applications "out-of-the box". But as Fujitsu Enabling
Software Technology GmbH regarding had special needs
regarding migration and integration, *instinctools
supported in the implementation. The editorial team of
Fujitsu Enabling Software Technology GmbH is now
optimally equipped for further documentation of their
applications.
