Re: new user question about javahelp

The etiquette page on the mailing lists states not to cross post questions. Part of the reason is thread fragmentation. Also, the mailing list [email protected] is the list you want to be on. It is for using the RCP. nbdiscuss is only to be used for questions about the web site and project infrastructure such as CVS. IssueZilla, and the Wiki etc.

Thanks,

Wade

Subject: [nbdiscuss] new user question about javahelp


I've switched from Eclipse in hopes, among other things, of a better JavaHelp.
I'm try to get something with a help, so I took the Paint sample code and added JavaHelp to it.
It compiles but I get an error message when I try to run it.

This shows up in the compile as:
Warning - could not install some modules:
        Paint - No module providing the capability org.netbeans.api.javahelp.Help could be found.

I guess what I need is to somehow add a menu item for help, but I don't see a menu anywhere.

It also seems to imply that one of my modules needs to have help capability.

I see a lot of the modules, like NewCanvasAction has
    
    public HelpCtx getHelpCtx() {
        return HelpCtx.DEFAULT_HELP

;
    }
 so it isn't clear to me what I'm missing.

I'm
sure this must be an easy question, but I don't know what the answer is
and I'm going around in circles looking for the answer.


Thanks,
Ilan
