Re: JavaHelp in Netbeans Platform 12.x - Revisited

2021-09-10 Thread Michael Huang 

  
  
Hi,

  According to platform/o.n.bootstrap/readme/README-bin.txt"
under netbeans source directory, one has to add
  classpath to the jhall.jar to support JavaHelp.

  One possible solution is to provide jhall.jar under
platform\lib folder of your NetBeans RCP suite (copy over after
installation or an ant task during building installer). This way
jhall.jar will be loaded automatically during RCP program
launching. Alternatively, use --cp:a as described in that
README-bin.txt

  Of course this assumes such jhall.jar (GPL licensed)
distribution is appropriate (e.g. within your organization).

  Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mike

  Hi,

I know Java Help has been removed from Apache NetBeans due to licensing and I think this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there is still a way to make it work if I somehow can manually add the proper jars? Maybe as a plugin?

I still see the option for the “Java Help Set” in the New File Type wizard when developing Platform Applications.

When I select this option and it creates the template files, the application fails to run with the error:

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/help/search/Indexer”

I know most everyone has moved to online help these days and that’s fine. However, we have some customers that are in internet limited areas and having onboard help documentation is beneficial if needed.

I thought I've seen mention of JavaHelp being forked or something and being used in other projects? I might be wrong..

If there isn’t a way to get Java Help working, then is there a way to:

1. Either disable to remove the Help buttons from the dialogs (it would be confusing to end users to click a non-functioning Help button and they’d file bug reports)
2. Hook up the help buttons so we can provide Online help links to documentation online? and possibly still retain the context sensitivity?

Thanks,
- Tim

It only took Geertjan three reply to get me to pull my head out of my ass.
At work I pulled all my projects back up and all of NetBeans features I use
worked.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
