Confluence 3.3-rc1
Description
Background:
In Confluence 3.3 we introduced the ability to configure the destination of the help links in the Confluence UI. See CONF-11416. This is done by means of a help-paths.properties file containing:
- the base URL of the Confluence instance (or other website) where the documentation resides, and
- a list of key-value pairs, where the key is a hook in the UI and the value is the name of the page that is the destination of the help link.
The problem:
Currently, the help-paths.properties file is part of a JAR in WEB-INF/lib. This is not ideal, because it's not easy for customers to get hold of and because it's not consistent with the way the other Atlassian applications work.
This situation is mitigated by the fact that customers can simply override the help-paths.properties file by placing a copy in WEB-INF/classes and making any necessary adjustments to the copy.
Suggested solution:
Please take the help-paths.properties file out of the JAR and put it in WEB-INF/classes by default.
