The JavaHelp libraries and tools are located in the javahelp folder
of the release. All classes work with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
(J2SE) and use Swing 1.2 or later (included in the J2SE).
The JavaHelp classes are distributed in the following four JAR files located
in the javahelp\lib folder:
jh.jar |
The standard library, which includes everything needed to use the standard navigator types (TOC, index, full-text search). |
jhbasic.jar |
A subset of jh.jar that does not include support for the
full-text search engine. This subset might be useful for very simple help
systems that do not require a full-text search database or for help systems
in which size is critical. |
jhall.jar |
Contains all the JavaHelp system classes, including the tools required to create a search database. |
jsearch.jar |
Contains the default full-text search engine used in the JavaHelp system. |
The JavaHelp tools are used to view helpsets and to build and query the full-text
search database. These tools are located in the javahelp\bin folder.
| jhindexer | Command-line program that creates the full-text search database used by the JavaHelp system full-text search navigator to locate matches. |
| jhsearch | Command-line program that queries the JavaHelp system full-text search
database that is created with the jhindexer command. You can
use jhsearch to test a search database without invoking the
help viewer. |
