Dynamic composition of help information for an aggregation of applications

A system for producing a composite help view for an aggregation of applications comprising:

• an application aggregator configured to aggregate individual interface units into a single aggregated view;
• a help system configured to render a help system view comprising composite help documentation comprising at least two help documents, each of said at least two help documents corresponding to one of said individual interface units;
• and,
• help invoking logic coupled to said help system and disposed in said single aggregated view.

A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program for producing a composite help view for an aggregation of applications, the computer program comprising a routine set of instructions which when executed by the machine cause the machine to perform the steps of:

• obtaining at least two separate help documents, each of said at least two separate help documents having an association with a corresponding one of separate interface units aggregated together into a single aggregated view;
• combining said at least two separate help documents into a composition of help documents corresponding to said single aggregated view;
• and,
• rendering said composition of help documents in a help system view responsive to a request for help initiated in said single aggregated view.
