Hi,
my two cents:
We have we have a whole ERP written in NetBeans 8 and absence of
JavaHelp and absent Czech translation (solvable) is the only thing
keeping us there. We don't insist on JavaHelp, but I couldn't find a way
to replace JavaHelp with calls to online help context by pressing F1 key.

Yes, I know the versions are quite old. It's a little embarrassing.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to update earlier in our ESA SNAP
project. We were still using Java 1.8 too.
So, we now want to update step by step and not with one giant leap to the
latest versions.
We try to get run 11.3 of NetBeans Platform with JDK11.
Why 11.3 exactly? Personally, while I understand the desire to not
make a giant leap, I think you're probably better jumping straight to
NetBeans 17 with JDK 11 here.
Now my problem.
After updating the Java help is not working anymore. The default menu entry
Help/Help Contents is not added to the menu. And when invoking the help
manually nothing happens.
Debugging revealed that in HelpCtx.display() the call to
Lookup.getDefault().lookupAll(Displayer.class) to not return an implementation.
Well, we haven't used JavaHelp in the IDE since moving to Apache
(license issues) and I'm not sure how well tested adding JavaHelp to
the platform is?! Certainly, some default help actions have changed
in light of that.
There's a curious question about whether we want to bring JavaHelp
back? In theory, the license issue should now be resolvable.
Best wishes,
Neil
