How to use CCS Help Window without launching CCS

I would like to use the CCS Help window as my documentation browser. Is it possible to launch this window by itself without first launching CCS?

Thanks

    Yes, you can. However, it is more cumbersome to use. Commands below will work for 4.x, for CCSv5 you need to adjust org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.v20060601.jar to have version string match plugin in CCSv5 (i.e. "3.2.v20060601" string). You will also need to adjust paths below to match your install location. 

    To start it you need to execute following command, from DOS prompt inside CCSInstall/ccsv4/eclipse directory 

    jre\bin\java -classpath "C:\CCSInstalls\CCSv4.1.3_b38\ccsv4\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.0.v20060601.jar" org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command displayHelp

    To shutdown the help system you need to execute command below. Just closing the window is not enough to shut down the help system. If you do not execute command below, then you will end up with extra processes running in the background. 

    jre\bin\java -classpath "C:\CCSInstalls\CCSv4.1.3_b38\ccsv4\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.0.v20060601.jar" org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command shutdown

    Martin,

    Thank you for your answer. Here are a couple of helper batch scripts.

    CCS_Help_launch.bat

    
@echo off

set CCS=E:\CCS\CCS_4_2_0_10002
set JAR=%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.0.v20060601.jar

cd "%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse"

"%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse\jre\bin\java" ^
    -classpath "%JAR%" org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help ^
    -command displayHelp

     

    CCS_Help_shutdown.bat

    
@echo off

set CCS=E:\CCS\CCS_4_2_0_10002
set JAR=%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.0.v20060601.jar

cd "%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse"
"%CCS%\ccsv4\eclipse\jre\bin\java" ^
    -classpath "%JAR%" org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help ^
    -command shutdown
