API Information: The supplied factory class must implement the org.eclipse.help.IBrowserFactory interface. Methods in that interface determine whether the factory is available on the given system, i.e. is capable of supplying browser instances, and create browser instances that implement IBrowser interface.
Supplied Implementation: The org.eclipse.help and org.eclipse.help.ui plug-ins contain implementation of browsers on common platforms. Other plug-ins can provide different implementations. In the preferences, the user can select the default browser from among available browsers.
