Hi Landon,
For building a bunch of different JUMP plugins I am using maven to
simplify the process. I've just managed to complete the final piece of
the puzzle which is to be able to create easily custom bundles of JUMP
with additional plugins.
I'll see if I can put some instructions together to
I must admit I'm a big fan of Scribus and Inkscape. I can easily
produce professional looking documentation with those two (2) tools,
and they are both open source. (They also both run on Linux!)
So this is probably use these two (2) programs to write my help docs
and then I will launch the PDF re
Another (more complex) option is to write the documents in DockBook
(XML) and then you can use stylesheets and Apache FOP to generate HTML
and PDF documents from them.
Unfortunately it's quite a bit of work to get the stylesheets setup in

I decided that I would try Peppe's idea of using PDF files as embedded
help in OpenJUMP.
I'm going to have a "help" button in some of the dialogs in my Super
Select Tool. The button will open a designated PDF file using a PDF
viewer/reader.
I would like to know if we can use a common variable to
