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. Brad. On 19/2/21 3:38 am, Geertjan Wielenga wrote: Awesome. The

Awesome. The actual help HTML files came with one of the donations, the 3rd, I believe. However, better to have no help files than to have outdated help files.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. Gj On Thu, Feb

I think that when we were removing the JavaHelp, I was experimenting with including the (existing) help and showing it in a browser. I'll try to dig that up. Jan On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 8:00 PM Neil C Smith wrote: > On Thu, 18 Feb 2021 at 18:02, Geertjan Wielenga > wrote: > > However, the

However, the real real question is who is going to keep that JavaHelp documentation updated? Are there volunteers in this thread who will do that? Gj On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 7:01 PM Geertjan Wielenga < geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> wrote: > That's true, we could do it like that. > > Gj > >

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? -ernie On 2/13/2021 2:48 PM,
