Myrna van Lunteren updated DERBY-5272:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: DERBY-5272_site.stat2
                DERBY-5272_site.diff2

Attaching a new version of the patch.

When I looked closer at the release pages, I noticed there were references to the plugin_help documentation in the web site on the release pages for releases that had a plugin, and my removing those details would cause broken links. 

As far as I can see, the plugin_help directory on the web site is a copy of the topics under http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/derby/code/trunk/plugins/eclipse/org.apache.derby.plugin.doc/topics/.
It's a pity we have this duplication of information, but it isn't much out of date - the only difference being the changes resulting from DERBY-2376 (revision 531595: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=531595).

So this second patch doesn't actually remove the old files, instead, it adds a new page, derby_plugin_info, which is referenced in the new updated menu. This way, when going into the Downloads tab and picking one of the releases that had a plugin available, users can still go to the help, and then get the same information as before via the menu, which is still expanded for those pages.

I also forgot to svn revert a couple of png files in the first patch. 

Re the cgi vs. html for 10.9.1 and 10.8.2.2 - I looked at the release publication page where the creation of these files is described, and I think it's ok that I don't get changes to the .cgi files, and that the mirrorring doesn't work when I'm just opening the files on my machine in the browser.

> A consensus has developed that we should stop building the Eclipse plugins as part of Derby releases. 10.8.2 will be the last release which includes these artifacts. After that, people who depend on these plugins will need to build them themselves and, if possible, find a place to publish the plugins. This topic has been discussed on the following email threads:
