Hi all, since years we miss a modern (on- and offline) help-viewer for your netbeans platform applications. Now, we have just started a student project at the Cooperative State University Karlsruhe (Germany) to fill this gap. It will run the next six months.
Of course we have our specific needs and wishes but it will be great, if we can implement something, which is interesting for many:-) My personal main point is, that I want to add documentation into netbeans- platform modules. If I collect some modules to a platform app I want to have a tool which collects the documentation parts from all the included modules automatically. I also want to integrate a help-viewer as on offline viewer into the rcp-app by invoking a browser but I also want to push to a online- available documentation maybe into a docuwiki page. So, if you are interested please give us feedback what functionality you like to see in a new Java-Help Viewer and if you know projects we have to look in, or give us other hints about java-help. Here is a list what I have found just now and looks interesting for us: https://git.rwth-aachen.de/netbeans/nb-help https://github.com/AleksandraMisic762/help-in-browser-dev https://git.rwth-aachen.de/j.hofschroeer/nb-help https://github.com/hubersn/SwingHelpViewer http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-javahelp/org/netbeans/api/javahelp/doc-files/help-guide.html https://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/DevFaqHelpGuidelines.asciidoc https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16262631/implementing-javahelp-search-with-the-netbeans-ide https://dzone.com/articles/nb-how-create-javahelp-mavenized https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9994373/using-javahelp-for-end-user-documentation-on-netbeans-based-application-tools-o https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7804838/embedding-avi-in-javahelp https://sourceforge.net/projects/jhelpdev/ https://www.netbeans-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=6095 https://github.com/DmitriPopov/HelpinatorReadTheDocs/blob/master/javahelp.rst best regards Oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
