Re: [base ide] No help available in Apache Netbeans 12.0?

[Bradley Willcott]

I might be interested in having a look at it.

Do we have the source of the HTML files, such as Markdown, or just the 
HTML files?


Where would be the best place to setup a project for this.  I use GitHub 
for all my projects.

However, better to have no help files than to have outdated help files.

I would vote (very strongly) against including them until there are 
people volunteering to review and update them.

Whereabouts is the HTML content now?  One option might be to
convert,
host as a website and have a help context displayer that opens the
system browser with pages based on the HelpCtx ID, falling back to
root table of contents if not there?  I'm doing the latter bit
in the
PraxisLIVE UI, where every help button at least does something.
Started experimenting with encoding the context in the URL's but
didn't finish it.

I agree, but then I'm definitely not suggesting including. Host separately
of everything else online via gitpubsub, with a strong hint of - "Something
wrong? Edit on GitHub!" One day, when they're in a good enough state, then
consider the option to download a local copy. But if they're not seen or
used at all, they'll never be good enough.

Re: [base ide] No help available in Apache Netbeans 12.0?

[Ernie Rael]

Seems like the real question is when will NetBeans have help. Comments 
about JavaHelp being GPL, while historically interesting, don't address 
the real issue.


Aren't some GPL issues with NetBeans addressed through update center 
tricks? Is that possible here?

Some time ago I used Netbeans 8.2 for working with html,
php and javascript. It had a
comprehensive help system, i.e. there were help buttons on
the various IDE Tools -> Options
windows, and IDE help under the main screen help option.

I havejust installed Apache Netbeans 12.0 and there isn't
any help anywhere! There are still
help buttons on the various IDE Tools -> Options windows
but none of them do anything. The
IDE help under the main screen help option has also gone.
It just offers "on-line docs and
support".

Initially, I still had Netbeans 8.2 installed when I first
installed Apache Netbeans 12.0. Both
worked ok, with help available on 8.2, but no help
available on 12.0. I uninstalled Netbeans
8.2, then uninstalled 12.0, and then reinstalled 12.0
again. Installation said it was successful,
but still no help available.

Here's the configuration information from Help -> About:

Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0
Java: 1.8.0_281; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.281-b09

I do hope someone can tell me what the issue is. I have
spent the last couple of evenings
tearing my hair out hunting for a solution without success.

The IDE itself hasn't gone through radical changes, just lots and lots

Hey Geertjan.

Is that ever going to change? When might JavaHelp be available to versions

Re: [base ide] No help available in Apache Netbeans 12.0?

Indeed, the help has been removed, JavaHelp is GPL licensed and cannot be
included in an Apache project.

[base ide] No help available in Apache Netbeans 12.0?

[nigelss]

This query relates to the Base IDE.

Some time ago I used Netbeans 8.2 for working with html, php and javascript. It 
had a 
comprehensive help system, i.e. there were help buttons on the various IDE 
Tools -> Options 
windows, and IDE help under the main screen help option.

I havejust installed Apache Netbeans 12.0 and there isn't any help anywhere! 
There are still 
help buttons on the various IDE Tools -> Options windows but none of them do 
anything. The 
IDE help under the main screen help option has also gone. It just offers 
"on-line docs and 
support".

Initially, I still had Netbeans 8.2 installed when I first installed Apache 
Netbeans 12.0. Both 
worked ok, with help available on 8.2, but no help available on 12.0. I 
uninstalled Netbeans 
8.2, then uninstalled 12.0, and then reinstalled 12.0 again. Installation said 
it was successful, 
but still no help available.

Here's the configuration information from Help -> About:

Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 12.0
Java: 1.8.0_281; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.281-b09
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_281-b09
System: Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_GB (nb)

Installed:
Base IDE
HTML5/Javascript
PHP

Not installed:
Java SE
Java EE

I do hope someone can tell me what the issue is. I have spent the last couple 
of evenings 
tearing my hair out hunting for a solution without success.

Thanks.
