Description
IGB's use of dependency injection and services architecture (OSGi) lets modules call upon services exported by other modules without having to create objects.
Currently, there is no easy way for a module to determine the IGB Help Page URL. Instead, we are hard-coding it.
For this task, investigate IGB's services-architecture based approach to providing data such as this Help Page URL that should be accessible in many locations of the GUI. Propose a solution, discuss it with others on the team, and summarize the approach in the comments or in a Powerpoint presentation. Also see case study modules in the IGB Canvas class for useful info.
Note: The first version of this issue included implementation. To make it more manageable, we limited this task to research and design only.
