Overview
Effective, instantly available online help is a requirement for today's interactive applications. Until now, Java application developers have been forced to develop their own help system. That's no longer necessary. With the release of JavaHelp™, there is a complete and standard online help system for the Java™ platform. Creating Effective JavaHelp covers the main features and options of JavaHelp. It shows how to create a basic JavaHelp system, prepare help topics, and deploy the help system in an application. Written for all levels of Java developers and technical writers, the book takes a chapter-by-chapter approach to building concepts. It imparts a complete understanding of how to create usable JavaHelp systems and integrate them into Java applications and applets. Topics covered include:
Understanding JavaHelp
Creating your first HelpSet
Planning the JavaHelp project
Preparing Help topics
Creating HelpSet data and navigation files
Enhancing the HelpSet
Using the JavaHelp API for advanced presentation options
Deploying the help system to your users
Using third-party help-authoring tools
