# Overview of DTP Help-Helper Plug-in

The Data Tools Platform (DTP) help-helper plug-in is provided in the Eclipse DTP project, since version 1.5 (released June 29, 2007).

The DTP help-helper plug-in (org.eclipse.datatools.help) contributes two key enablers for dynamic context-sensitive help:

- A ContextProviderDelegate implementation, whose methods allow the abstraction of help context IDs and context-specific help search expressions from the user interface (UI) code
- An extension point (org.eclipse.datatools.help.helpKeyProperties), which allows other plug-ins to contribute ResourceBundle properties files that define the mapping of abstract helpKey constants (used in the UI code) to externalized help context ID strings and context-specific help search expressions
