The plugin “org.csstudio.ui.menu.web”
adds a Web entry to the CSS
menu which allows users to access web sites
related to the control system.
As a growing number of control system related tools become web-based, this allows easy access to them from within CSS.
Depending on the operating system and the preference settings under
General, Web Browser, the web pages will open
in a web browser within the CSS workbench or in an external web browser.
The web links are configured by the CSS maintainer for each site via preferences of the “org.csstudio.ui.menu.web” plugin.
The example web menu from Figure 36.1, “Web menu”
was created with the following configuration placed
in the plugin_customization.ini
of the product:
