Hi, I know Java Help has been removed from Apache NetBeans due to licensing and I think this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there is still a way to make it work if I somehow can manually add the proper jars? Maybe as a plugin?
I still see the option for the “Java Help Set” in the New File Type wizard when developing Platform Applications. When I select this option and it creates the template files, the application fails to run with the error: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/help/search/Indexer” I know most everyone has moved to online help these days and that’s fine. However, we have some customers that are in internet limited areas and having onboard help documentation is beneficial if needed. I thought I've seen mention of JavaHelp being forked or something and being used in other projects? I might be wrong.. If there isn’t a way to get Java Help working, then is there a way to: 1. Either disable to remove the Help buttons from the dialogs (it would be confusing to end users to click a non-functioning Help button and they’d file bug reports) 2. Hook up the help buttons so we can provide Online help links to documentation online? and possibly still retain the context sensitivity?
