About the Book

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 JavaHelpT, there is a complete and standard online help system for the JavaT 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; and using third-party help-authoring tools.
