I finally figured it out. The config.ini file in your web archive (e.g. warFilename\WEB-INF\configuration\config.ini) is, apparently, completely ignored. The config.ini file you want to work with (in Tomcat, anyway) is: installDIR\work\Catalina\localhost\warFileName\eclipse\configuration\config.ini I built the Infocenter web archive following the instructions in the Eclipse (Helios) help and it worked straightaway, except for the customization issue. After I finally figured out which config.ini file to use, I set eclipse.product=pluginName.helpProduct. Everything fell into place then. I was finally tipped off by examining the .log file in installDIR\\work\Catalina\localhost\warFileName\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.log It was reporting "Product org.eclipse.productname could not be found.", indicating that the default value in some config.ini file was being used. This second location is referred to in the note at the end of the Eclipse Help instructions, but if you don't read carefully (like me) you'll end up editing the wrong file. Well, Eureka.

It was reporting “Product org.eclipse.productname could not be found.”, indicating that the default value in some config.ini file was being used.

This second location is referred to in the note at the end of the Eclipse Help instructions, but if you don’t read carefully (like me) you’ll end up editing the wrong file.

I have set up a standard Infocenter with customizations (overrides for home_page.html, banner.jpg, etc.) and all customization worked as expected. I successfully created a web archive folder and deployed it the Tomcat 5.5.25. The URL http://localhost:8080/[warfileName/index.jsp reveals the infocenter UI as expected -- but with no customization. I've scoured the internet for clues and tried every config permutation I can think of, but I cannot get it to pick up the plugin_customization.ini file. If anyone out there has any advice, it would be most welcome. @ Don Adkins: That’s a good question, I’d like to know, too.

Thanks for the post. Next, I'm trying to use the customization features to extend the help app as described in the eclispe documentation -> http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_war.htm However, I'm having issues getting the plugin_configuration.xml instructions to be invoked.

We do that consistently and it certainly helps our thinking, quality and delivery speed. However, we have never succeeded in getting client interest or buy-in. It is frustrating to see an idea with so much promise languish. Yishay,
