JavaHelp software is a full-featured, platform-independent, extensible help system that enables you to incorporate online help in applets, components, applications, operating systems, and devices. Authors can also use the JavaHelp software to deliver online do(edited)entation for the Web and corporate intranet
Platform and Browser Independent
Written entirely in the Java programming language, the JavaHelp system
can run on any platform and browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE),
making it ideal for use in a heterogeneous environment such as the Web and corporate intranet.
Customizable and Extensible
The JavaHelp system is implemented using Java
Foundation Classes (JFC) software components, which provide you with
flexibility and ease in developing custom user interfaces and functionality.
For example, the JavaHelp system can be displayed in its own window or
embedded in an application. It can also be extended to add customized
navigational controls.
Network-centric
With the JavaHelp system, help data and search functionality
can reside on either the client side or server side. The JavaHelp software
network design also enables help data and new functionality to be dynamically
updated over the web.
Industry Support
The JavaHelp software has received widespread support from
the industry and leading help authoring tool vendors.
