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?

As stated above, JavaHelp is GPL licensed. Nothing we can do about that.

Hey Geertjan.
Is that ever going to change? When might JavaHelp be available to
versions of netbeans released after transfer to Apache? Is there a
page you can point to that explains all this?

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

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.
