Subject:Online help for Swing applications From:"Renee Dekenah" <RDekenah -at- categoric -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 21 Mar 2003 09:06:14 -0000
Hi there
We are currently developing a graphical user interface in Swing for deployment using WebStart. I've been researching the options available for providing online help and was wondering if anyone had any useful information/experience to share in this regard.
For example, what factors influenced your choice of online help format (e.g. JavaHelp, WebHelp)? The default HTML editor that accompanies the JEditorPane Swing component only supports HTML 3.2 (I think) - how did you deal with this? If you chose to provide HTML 4.0 instead, did you develop your own inhouse HTML viewer as a plug in?
Many thanks in advance :)
