Reseña del editor

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.

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
