Configuring JavaHelp in Eclipse

As promised in my previous feed, here are the steps to configure JavaHelp for any project in Eclipse.

1.       Download latest version of JavaHelp from http://javahelp.java.net/. As of now, available version for download is javahelp2_0_05.  In windows, extract zipfiles to a path of your choice from  javahelp2_0_05.zip

2.       In Eclipse IDE, Add the jars from lib

      [For instance: C:\javahelp2_0_05\jh2.0\javahelp\lib, if JavaHelp is saved in “C” directory] to your build path, through “Add External JARs”

3.       Also specify the path of Helpset in your build path, to access the .hs file.

      [For Example: If path of HelpSet.hs -> “C:\Users\sharan\Desktop\MyJavaHelp\ HelpSet.hs”, then specify classpath as “C:\Users\sharan\Desktop\MyJavaHelp\” under “Add External Class Folder”

Note: For Eclipse beginners, “Add External JARs” & “Class Folder” can be accessed by

·         Select your project, press ALT+Enter

·         Properties dialog should be shown.

·         Select Java Build Path option in left pane

·         Move to Libraries tab.

Your comments are always longed-for.
