Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------------
Thanks Tom,
I just had a glance with FF, I'd have loved to have a such thing when I began
to be interested by OFBiz :D. This is even incomparably better than what we
have now.
Accounting and HR are the only ones supported because you specifically worked
on them, right? Or is it only a matter of running an ant task on them?
>Only issue is focus stays with OFBiz when a user invokes help and a help
>instance is open in the background.
I don't think it's an issue, having 2 windows seems quite useful to me, or you
would prefer a new tab?
>Help is refreshed but user may not see it if help is minimized or hidden
>behind another window.
Not sure what you mean, from Accounting main, with help opened, I moved to
Invoices, no changes in Help window.
I will have a deeper look ASAP, it's appealing!

> I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I

> Here is what I wound up using for development:
> Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content
> DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
> http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
> http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/
> DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
> http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
>
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip
> Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop
> TOC creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for
> viewing & testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html
> XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in
> Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
> Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through
> http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html
> Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)
> Attached are some screen shots of the results.
> Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much
> for defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.
> The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This
> will likely not be the final presentation format.
> Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a
> bug in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list.
> There are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to
> get bogged down with patches at this time.
