Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue

Hi, I think this recipe deserves a small tutorial on our website. We're currently under an Apache-wide migration of Jenkins that is stopping our web-site publishing job. Maybe within a few days we can set up a small page with this. Kind regards, Antonio El 24/7/20 a las 21:02, Greg Bullock

Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue

Thank you for posting this. Trying it just now, the .zip file does not have a \javahelp-2.0_05\binary folder. Hoping to build the jhall.jar, I 1. downloaded the source from github.com/javaee/javahelp. and 2. in a CentOS 7 virtual machine (since my Windows 10 machine doesn't have the

Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue

Hi, I am not sure it is the right way to do it but here is how I included JavaHelp in my application suite to migrate it from NetBeans 8.2 to NetBeans 11.3. 1) Downloaded JavaHelp from https://github.com/javaee/javahelp/releases 2) Unzipped the file 3) Added the jhall.jar as a

Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue

Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue

JavaHelp is not included in Apache NetBeans GitHub because it is GPL licensed, which is against Apache policy, and therefore is also not part of Apache NetBeans, it never has been and never will be unless it is licensed, which seems unlikely to happen. It is something you'll need to add yourself

Re: Best strategy to solve JavaHelp issue
