This article will explain in detail how to use the Help System plug-in in NetBeans. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

NetBeans tutorial: once you have HTML files that describe plug-ins, you must wrap them in a plug-in that integrates them into the NetBeans file system. To do this, you need to create a help system. In addition to the HTML file, the help system includes the following files:

Mapping file. Specifies a list of mapped ID, with each ID linked to a specific HTML file.

Catalog file. Use the mapping ID to arrange the help files into a directory.

Index file. Use the mapping ID to schedule the help file into the index.

Helpset file. Define the help system by referring to mapping files, catalog files, and index files.

In this tutorial, you will create each of these files, as well as the files that register the help system with the NetBeans file system.

You can package the help system into a plug-in that contains the code described in the HTML file, or you can create a separate plug-in that contains only the help system. This tutorial assumes that you want the help system to be included in a separate plug-in. However, if you want them to be included in the plug-ins described in the HTML file, you can skip the first three steps in the "creating a Plug-in Project" section.

After installing the software, this tutorial can be completed within 20 minutes.

If you have questions about writing and integrating the help system, see the module Helpset Integration FAQ. These FAQs provide many other details that are not covered in this tutorial. For more information about general use of the NetBeans plug-in, see the NetBeans Development Project home page on the NetBeans website. If you have any questions, please use the feedback link at the top of this page.
