Using Cheat Sheets

Cheat Sheets are XML documents that can be interpreted by the Eclipse Cheat Sheet framework to provide user assistance. For example, when developing design patterns, you can include a cheat sheet to describe the resources added to a workspace, and to assist users with any manual steps required after a design pattern is applied. Cheat sheets are not mandatory for design patterns, but recommended.

You can edit cheat sheets using any XML editor. Eclipse provides a Cheat Sheet editor that facilitates cheat sheet development.
