help-*.html not used when placed in tag lib folder

[Ullrich Hafner]

I extracted a lot of jelly blocks into a separate tag lib (i.e. a folder in the resources) in order to reuse them from several steps. While the jelly file correctly reads the associated properties files from the same folder it seems that the help files are not read. Is this a known bug? Or how can I reuse these HTML files in several steps?

The `Descriptor` methods to load help files are not going to know
anything about your taglib, so the control will just be using the
default inferred resource location. You would have to explicitly
specify the help file attribute, I guess.

Thanks! That works quite well for the UI part.

(It does not work for the API Viewer of the job-dal plugin though, so I ended up in duplicating all the files for my different steps)
