Re: [platform-help-dev] Help for Help
|
If you mean you cannot view the page, try again, as it is accessible for me
without problems.
If you can access it, but the solution described there does not work, here
is more explanation:
JavaHelp is not compatible with Eclipse Help System, and its help set
cannot be launched, but because in both systems documentation is in form of
HTML files zipped (or jarred), Eclipse Help System can extract JavaHelp
documents from a jar and display them. I think, following the steps
described in the wiki is as close as you can get to displaying HTML files
from a Jar without creating a TOC for Eclipse Help System and re-packaging
documentation in a plug-in as required. However, unless your documentation
is JavaDoc, (where every HTML page is linked with others) I would suggest
recreating TOCs based on HelpSets, and creating a plug-in.
If you cannot do any of this, and must view JavaHelp, you can always write
an Eclipse plug-in that will simply launch JavaHelp as an external process.
